Subject: [PATCH] allow bug table entries to use relative pointers (and use it on x86-64)
Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2008 11:40:27 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4947A1BB.76E4.0078.0@novell.com> (raw)

This allows reducing the bug table size by half. Perhaps there are
other 64-bit architectures that could also make use of this.
