Other way around: non-pic only fails on broken and idiotic archs
wasting speed. Speed is what matters; memory doesn't. And you won't
waste much memory unless you're running a bloated gui system anyway,
since most libs are only loaded very few times.

Then fix them. It's a bug in the dynamic linker, not the arch itself.
