Please demonstrate where the ABI requires this; I'm not sure that your premise is correct.  http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/ELF/ppc64/PPC-elf64abi.html says, for example, "One aspect of segment loading differs between executable files and shared objects. Executable file segments may contain absolute code... On the other hand, shared object segments typically contain position-independent code...".
