So, if we want to make PCH work for PIEs, I'd say we can:
1) add a new GTY option, say callback, which would act like
skip for non-PCH and for PCH would make us skip it but
remember for address bias translation
2) drop the skip for tree_translation_unit_decl::language
3) change get_unnamed_section to have const char * as
last argument instead of const void *, change
unnamed_section::data also to const char * and update
everything related to that
4) maybe add a host hook whether it is ok to support binaries
changing addresses (the only thing I'm worried is if
some host that uses function descriptors allocates them
dynamically instead of having them somewhere in the
executable)
5) maybe add a gengtype warning if it sees in GTY tracked
structure a function pointer without that new callback
option
Here is 1), 2), 3) implemented.
Note, on stdc++.h.gch/O2g.gch there are just those 10 relocations without
the second patch, with it a few more, but nothing huge. And for non-PIEs
there isn't really any extra work on the load side except freading two scalar
values and fseek.
