Position Independent Coremark executable fails when not loaded at its static link time address

Position Independent Coremark executable fails as follow when not loaded at its static link time address:

2K performance run parameters for coremark.

I am curious to know what in the algorithm depends on Coremark getting loaded at its static link time address.
I am able to reproduce this same failure on two different cpu isa architecture.
