Ok, my suggestion to use the linker was not a "do it this way", it really was just a "maybe alternate approach". So no objections if absolute_pointer() ends up being the simpler solution.
What other notable issues end up being still live? I sent out that one patch for sparc, but didn't get any response to it. I'm inclined to just apply it (the 'struct mdesc_hdr' pointer misuse one).
