Description

We should either go all in on ASLR for security reasons and make the code location random, or load the code at a fixed address in the guest, saving on the cost of relocations & dynamic binaries. At present we relocate but to a fixed address.

Research direction

Start by tracing the current relocation path and how guest code is loaded; the issue names no files or tests. Resolve whether the project will randomize the code location for ASLR or use a fixed guest address to avoid relocations and dynamic binaries, then verify the chosen behavior.
