Re: PIC is wasteful

Is there no way to avoid 32 bit absolute addresses in 64 bit mode

The large model is not supported. If it was, it would probably be inefficient. 
-Bsymbolic doesn't seem to do anything. At least it doesn't prevent
GOT entries

-Bsymbolic is a linker option, and it does do something at the linker
level.  However, the linker is unable to eliminate a GOT once the
compiler has created one.
That makes sense
