Yes, I plan to implement the codegen part to help me understand FDPIC better 
and the codegen part of LLVM...
(I need to study PPC ELFv1 function descriptors.)

Thanks for the pointers. Yes, it looks like ARM added 
`-mpic-data-is-text-relative` first then s390x ported it.
The option is similar to `-msep-data` (m68k/bfin) and probably used for 
MMU-less systems without dynamic linking support. I have work-in-progress notes
