It started out (and still largely is) a hack to work around a problem with stabs-in-ELF with Sun's C compiler. Later it also got enabled on some Linux variants, to work around a bug in HJ's Linux binutils IIRC. The safest thing to do is probably to turn this into a multi-arch variable, and set that variable for all targets that #define SOFUN_ADDRESS_MAYBE_MISSING. I winder however, what the impact would be of enabling this on all ELF targets, since that would make it easier to debug object modules created with the Sun compiler to FreeBSD/sparc64 for example.
