They can be, if compiled with -Wl,-pie. Example:
$ file /usr/bin/ping
/usr/bin/ping: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0
And you can't detect via the interpreter, since libraries can have
them too:
$ file /lib64/libc-2.26.so libQt5Core.so.5.11.0
/lib64/libc-2.26.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
libQt5Core.so.5.11.0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.17.0
