relocation against `.text' can not be used when making a PIE object when performing a branch lookup switch in assembly [duplicate]

I am writing a project in x86-64 Assembly and I want to write an efficient switch statement using a branch lookup table. However, I get position independence errors.

I'll start with my code. The assembly was taken from this answer.

Assembly:

global mySwitch section .text mySwitch: jmp [.jump_table + 2 * edi] .jump_table: dw .one, .two .one: mov eax, 123 ret .two: mov eax, 321 ret 

C:

#include <stdio.h> int mySwitch(int arg); int main() { printf("%d\n", mySwitch(1)); } 

I am trying to compile it with the following commands:

nasm -f elf64 -w+all -w+error switch.asm -o switch_asm.o gcc -c -Wall -Wextra -std=c17 -O2 switch.c -o switch_c.o gcc switch_asm.o switch_c.o -o switch 

but the third one returns the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: switch_asm.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.text' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [makefile:4: all] Error 1 

Using the -fPIE switch is against the rules of the assignment (and also does not help), and I do not know what I am missing (previously, the problem was caused by a missing rel or wrt ..plt).

Update: Changing my assembly code slightly to 64-bit addresses and a lea instruction like so:

 lea rax, [rel .jump_table] jmp [rax + rdi * 8] .jump_table: dq .one, .two 

compiles, and works as expected. I'd love to post this is an answer as to how to write a switch statement in asm but I cannot because this question is closed due to being a duplicate despite not being a duplicate so oh well.
