It uses "-mindirect-branch=thunk -mindirect-branch-loop=pause
-fno-jump-tables", though I don't know if that even exists in
upstream gcc (it is the gcc use for Chrome OS builds). I'll pass
your feedback to our compiler team.
Either case, I think it is less than optimal that objtool crashes
with _any_ object code.
Thanks,
Guenter
