   A question for folks who have worked on BFD for a while: How horrible are
   jumptables to deal with?  I'm looking at parameterizing the g++ ABI, and am
   strongly considering that as an implementation strategy.

I started to reply, but then I realized that it depends upon what you
mean by the g++ ABI.  Do you mean the code that g++ generates, or do
you mean the files in gcc/cp?  The former already uses jumptables, of
course, since that's what virtual functions are, and I'm not sure in
what sense the latter has an ABI.
