Hi Yury,
The problem is that decision on PLT entry size is done long before we
actually output PLT entries.
I thought that that might be the case.
Fixing this would require a non-trivial code churn which I'm a bit
scared to do...
Note that most of the people are probably ok with existing 28-bit
entries (otherwise we'd know about this issue long ago).
Fair enough - in which case the patch is approved - please apply.
Cheers
Nick
