Shouldn't we move away from hashing internal GCC addresses or is
that what you are suggesting? Hashing internal addresses repeatedly
causes problems when GCC's memory layout differs on different hosts, or
even between bootstrap stages causing comparison failures.
I am suggesting moving away from that here, but it can't cause the sort of
problems you are talking about the way it's used there.
