--- Comment #2 from Fangrui Song <i at maskray dot me> ---
How is it a portability problem?

clang -fpic has always been allowing interprocedural optimizations for
non-vague-linkage function definitions. FreeBSD uses clang and software works
with no problem.




For a vague-linkage function definition, a call site in the same
translation unit may inline the callee. Whether
-fno-semantic-interposition is enabled/disabled has no effect.

For a non-vague-linkage function definition, by default
(-fsemantic-interposition) the -fpic mode does not allow a call site
in the same translation unit to inline the callee or perform other
interprocedural optimizations.
-fno-semantic-interposition re-enables interprocedural optimizations.

If a caller inlines a callee, using LD_PRELOAD to interpose the callee
will not affect the caller. But many other LD_PRELOAD usage still
work.
We consider the small LD_PRELOAD limitation a good trade off for the speedup.
