I briefly looked into this now, and concluded again that implementing PIC is not the difficult part - for me anyway - but figuring it how how it integrates with the rest of Linux, including conventions of ELF and linker, and symbols, and GOT tables and whatever. But to be honest, I also never really researched this before in depth. I'm actually interested in implementing this, because I suspect there would be large overlaps with Amiga (etc.) support, when it comes to code infrastructure, even if some of the actual code generation would be different. But that's the easy part.
