Position independent code is _not_ pc-relative code.

For amiga-lilo-0.5 (soon to be released) I wrote a Perl script to convert the
asm output of gcc (-fPIC) to pc-relative code. This works except for the 
initialization of pointers at compiletime. But as a workaround you can
initialize them at runtime.

If anyone is interested in this script, please let me know.
