It's not quite true that executables load at fixed addresses (PIC code can end
up anywhere) but since the kernel always page-aligns them in all practical
cases it probably doesn't make any difference.

The only practical problem that I can see with the idea as you've presented it
is that it's not really acceptable for the linker to reorder input files.
Aside from that though there is the deeper question of how far we want to bend
the toolchain to accomodate buggy silicon.
