I want to make sure that we don't get carried away too much and forget
to include plans to fix the regression in our immediate future. For
instance, Pedro suggested that we should search the main objfile first,
but that this should be target dependent. Thinking about it, he's right,
of course. But coding it right is probably going to take some thinking.
On the other hand, implementing this approach for all targets seems
easy enough, and would buy us some time.
