It's not called relocation, but address space layout randomization 
(ASLR). You can disable it by compiling/linking your binary with -k-no_pie

Alternatively, you can launch a program via posix_spawnp using a custom 
attribute to disable ASLR for just that invocation. See e.g. main.c at 
https://github.com/svlobanov/disable-aslr-on-mac
