Unfortunately, but we don't have to allow non-PIC in DSOs.  In fact, don't 
recent binutils versions prevent this?  That's definitely something that should

You seem not to understand the costs.  Running over a list twice with two short 
loops is much slower than running over them once with a combined loop body.
