+ knowing whether an object file has been compiled PIC or not.
+ Looking through the relocs is not particularly time consuming.
+ The problem is that we must either (1) keep the relocs in memory,

+ (2) read the relocs twice from the input file, which wastes time.
+ This would be a good case for using mmap.
