The major architectures & ABIs are all capable of producing and loading fully position independent code. The performance impact varies; for x86_64 and aarch64 instruction pointer relative addressing reduces the number of relocations that are needed by quite a lot. Languages that support subclassing and inheritance don’t represent any special hazard to relocation; ultimately these are built out of data and function symbols that need to be supported even if you’re only compiling C.
