* vincent Dupaquis: > - Did I miss anything ? The linker can perform relaxations (e.g., elimination of GOT indirection) based on whole-program analysis, something the compiler cannot do. Such optimizations are very much target-dependent, and they often need some previous ABI work to define new relaxable relocations for relocatable object files. > - Is there somewhere a common definition of what mean PIC for the > different architectures ? Not really, not even for ELF. There are some common assumptions in the background for ELF implementations (e.g., one canonical function address), but how you get there varies somewhat.
