Bug Description

Does SBCL support position independent code?

I don't actually understand the point of PIC, but apparently it is becoming the default or even required on some OSes. As I understand it, SBCL doesn't support PIC. What would it take?

Can you elaborate? Are you asking about building SBCL's runtime with PIC-related C-compiler options or is the question about code emitted by SBCL's compiler, or the fasl format?

If possible, please give a concrete, reproducible example of something that doesn't work as expected.
