Mark, how does this revision look?
This is a step into the direction that I was heading for. However, I
was envisioning a somewhat more generic approach, suitable for all
i386 ELF targets. I wasn't planning on having that support in 6.0
though. Would you mind if I keep your patch around until I implement
that approach?
