These are needed for relocation of function pointers(and possible some
think more). There was an attempt by Grant Likely to enable this
functionalty, but some toolchains had problems with so the function
was disabled. If you undo commit
1c3dd43338a077165e7e0309cb3994e65d2bdbf8 you will enable it again for
