Studio 12.6/Solaris 11.3 x86 Can't discover PIE executables

Hi,
known bug?
$ cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
printf("hello new world!\n");
return 0;
}
$ cc -m64 -g -KPIC -ztype=pie hello.c
$ file a.out
a.out: ELF 64-bit LSB dynamic lib AMD64 Version 1 [SSE], position-independent executable, dynamically linked, not stripped
$ discover -vw - a.out
discover (info): Studio 12.6 Memory Error Discovery Tool 2.4 SunOS_i386 2017-05-30
discover (error): The instrumentation target needs to be an executable. a.out is a shared library.

Thanks for reporting this problem. It seems that "discover" was not updated in Studio 12.6 to recognize PIE programs.
As a work-around, you can link the program as a normal executable so you can run discover, then re-link as a PIE when you are finished using discover.
EDIT: I filed Bug 26526167 for the problem.
