Looks good! Just some comments:

Only exported paths need to be here, right? You talk about local defs
not being stable, but we recompile a crate at a time, so any local use
of a local def becomes a "pointer".
Also, these table contains only constant and functions, right? Types are
in the table you describe afterwards.
In order to use the regular system linker, the exported functions and
constants have to be listed as mangled symbol names. Since we are
already paying the cost of having a mangled symbol, we can probably use
that to find the metadata about that symbol. Having our table be indexed
by a hash of the symbol name for example.
Thanks,
Marijn
