Not only: obviously, implementing GOT relocation is not done the same on 
both archs, and it simply is not beneficial on ARM wrt PPC in terms of 
instructions. I did a pretty extensive run of tests with and without 
-fPIC and -fPIE on ARM, and GOT relocation clearly makes code bigger, 
whereas it does not PPC.

This simply implies that -fPIC is a better choice for PPC (and hence 
-mrelocatable) while -fpie is a better one for ARM.

Amicalement,
