FYI, we once discussed them (in 2013, long time ago already!) in the 
thread about Fedora here:
   https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/inn-workers/2013-May/018153.html

It seems that adding "-fPIE -pie" in CFLAGS could be worthwhile (because 
INN is setuid), not only for rnews.  The other patches do not seem 
necessary.  Especially the one about MADV_SEQUENTIAL / madvise.
   https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/inn-workers/2013-May/018154.html
   https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/inn-workers/2013-May/018156.html
   https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/inn-workers/2013-May/018158.html

Time to do a bit of clean-up :)

Thanks for having taken the maintenance of the Fedora inn package!
