"Position independent executable"

Ah, I never needed a large address space to do that.
I was using position independent code on 6809, 68000, and 68020 systems in the late '80's.
Although you did manage to link an argument that sways me greatly.

Basically, it helps support the kind of coding I was trying to talk everybody into decades ago.
You have no idea how frustrating it was seeing Amiga coders using what ever bizarre coding style suited them (including, the seriously irritating, self modifying code).

Keep it up Andreas, you m,ight actually get me to take this architecture more seriously.
