+@cindex position independent executables
+Create a position independent executable. This is currently only supported on
+ELF platforms. Position independent executables are similar to shared
+libraries in that they are relocated by the dynamic linker to the virtual
+address OS chooses for them (which can varry between invocations), like
+normal dynamically linked executables they can be executed and symbols
+defined in the executable cannot be overridden by shared libraries.
