So this proposal is for _all_ architectures, including the register-starved 
32-bit i?86 where the overhead is, IIRC, around 10%.  I am by now quite 
convinced that x86_64 should be using PIE by default.  As for 32-bit, I’m torn 
between “this is too much overhead” and “32-bit isn’t worth the worry, let’s 
instead make the defaults consistent.”
