Didn't I say "several seconds"? Where's the contradiction?
Several seconds is a lot of time for modern CPUs, address fixup is a
rather cheap operation. That's what the dynamic linker does every
time you load a shared library -- did you ever find that loading
annoyingly long?

Excuse me, but how is relying on compilers and linkers more "modern"?
"Maintenance hell"? Did you see how many changes in Emacs are done to
adapt Emacs to some particular compiler on some particular system? I
suggest you take a look at "git log" (search for "Port "), keeping up
with that is no less "maintenance hell" than maintaining our own code.
