32-bit x86 Position Independent Code - It's that bad

C is too high-level and the compilers are shit.
Don't let a machine do the job of a human.
Write ASM yourself.

The bigger point you seem to miss is that other architectures don't need to deal with any of these issues just to have acceptable performance with PIC.

You mean like MIPS? LOL.

That's what your "elegant RISC" architecture with 32 (31) registers and uniform 3-address instructions gets you: Pathetic efficiency.

PIC is a horrible idea anyway.
