Yes, I realize that.  But if you take away *all* of the 
special handling, including the JUMP_TABLES_IN_TEXT_SECTION,
does the program still work?

Basically, why the motivation for JUMP_TABLES_IN_TEXT_SECTION?
It looks left over from a copy from mips16 code, where there
was in fact a justification.
