Comment (by jessicah):

Some commentary from pdziepak on IRC, that you might also find useful:

well, there is more to be done before we can say the we support position
dependent executables
currently kernel first loads runtime_loader and then runtime_loader
loads the executable itself
that's unusual order and will have to be changed
because we need to guarantee that there is no address conflict between
runtime_loader and the executable
(well, we can guarantee that on x64 if we limit our support to memory
model small, for instance, but the change is needed for 32bit anyway)
