I'll take a look, but I worry that we will have problems such as output varying with different versions of nm, output being different on Linux vs OS X vs Windows, and padding possibly meaning that we get the wrong values. > So, unless we want a very generic solution, where more than one cross > target is possible, > there is no need to abolish mkDerivedConstants.c.
