hmm, sounds like that may be the case.

So, the only coding affected by -pic libs would be that which needs to
be loaded up first (in the initial ramdisk), and someone wanting to
write a module which would run only after the installation system is
setup is free to use the full libs?

i.e., There is only a relatively small amount of code in di which
uses the reduced libs, so there would be no significant gains.

If `yes'... sorry for distracting you from your work.
