I tried the 6.6.dfsg-1ubuntu7 package which contains the patch
patches/pie-support.patch but unfortunately it still doesn't work. I
haven't got time to poke around the internals of GDB at the moment so
I'll have to try another work around.

I've added a comment to problem report 2069 which documents the issue.
