There are only 3 options:
a) delete PIC
b) leave PIC code but guarantee that it'll be broken
c) I have to keep PIC in mind every time I write an asm function, and test 
that extra configuration.

I tried b with win64, no one came along to fix it after me, so win64 is 
gone now. I'm not willing to do c.
