--- Comment #3 from Thiago Macieira <thiago at kde dot org> 2013-02-25 22:27:14 UTC --- This should not be done for non-PIC code. In those, it might be preferable to make the actual call, as opposed to an indirect jump. I also wonder what would happen for a call that resolves back into the current module. In those cases, keeping the indirect call would be unnecessary. However, it also seems like an edge case to me: why is the symbol weak if it's part of the module?
