Alright. Another reason would be to use PaX for security. I’ve used |
| 13 |
PaX and what I did for that, to get PIC code, was to use the |
| 14 |
‘hardened’ 3.x compiler. The ‘hardened no SSP’ setting would be the |
| 15 |
one for prelink, I think. |

When I really want a program to start quickly, though, I use the |
| 18 |
sticky bit, so the program stays in memory. I think this is the |
| 19 |
default for GNU Emacs. |
