Please don't.
You'd ICE (well, ILE) on perfectly valid libraries.
DW_EH_PE_absptr works well on IA-32 in shared libraries, but further
checking reveals that in presence of RELA RELATIVE relocs which do not copy
its addend to the memory or in presence of weird pseudo-RELATIVE relocs like
on mips this doesn't work.
Guess the easiest solution would be to finish what I skipped when writing
the patch, ie. get make_relative and make_lsda_relative working by doing one
more set of changes on all ELF backends.
