It seems to me that you don't need a dispatcher for doing indirect calls; you could just take the address of the version you would choose if you were doing a direct call.
The only reason for a dispatcher I can think of is if you want the address of a function to compare equal across translation units compiled with different target flags. I'm not sure that's necessary; am I missing something?
Continuing to look at the patch. Jason
