[LLVMdev] implementing PIC for linux x86-64

[Rafael Espindola]

I have been playing a bit with LLVM again and it looks like the
current major missing feature on Linux x86-64 is PIC.

Is anyone working on it? If not, I would like to do so. I have the ABI
documentation (http://www.x86-64.org/documentation/abi.pdf), but would
be glad if someone had some LLVM specific pointers. For example, from
the targets that do have support for PIC, which one is the one to be
copied? :-)

Cheers,
