I'm wondering what to do with SOFUN_ADDRESS_MAYBE_MISSING. 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.
