Ok, fine. But if it is rarely used, why isn't it -fpic?

Few more random things which might help the drivers:
1) using fprintf (stderr, ...) all around is a bad idea,
   that means 2 runtime relocations for each when not -fpic, much better
   take it offline into a separate .hidden function which will call
   vfprintf
2) use __builtin_expect if you know better than the compiler what's likely
   and what is unlikely executed
