we currently still end up with
call 0
on e.g. i386

> The same things can happen in libraries with fpic

yes. Thing is that we could theoretically work around it by explicitly looking
at the addr Â¹) but that's just plain disgusting imho. And the hardened guys
will not like the idea to drop DOPIC (i.e. build members of .a without PIC).

So.. What's the status of that bug? Current binutils-2.20 and somewhat current
gcc basically generate "wrong" code, or at least code that behaves in an
unpleasant way causing grief..
