Just to add a littel snippet...
Some architectures have naturally position-independent
code. For example, on VAX, it's trivially easy to
generate PIC code since everything can be made
PC-relative very easily.
Unlike silly archs like IA32 where you need to keep
base address registers handy or have loads of relocations
at load time...
Later,
Kenn
