+
+   To make function pointer comparisons work on most targets, the
+   relevant ABI states that the address of a non-local function in a
+   dynamically linked executable is the address of the PLT entry for
+   that function.  This is quite reasonable since using the real
+   function address in a non-PIC executable would typically require
+   dynamic relocations in .text, something to be avoided.  For such
+   functions, the linker emits a SHN_UNDEF symbol in the executable
+   with value equal to the PLT entry address.  Normally, SHN_UNDEF
+   symbols have a value of zero, so this is a clue to ld.so that it
+   should treat these symbols specially.  For relocations not in
+   ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_PLT (eg. those on function pointers), ld.so should
+   use the value of the executable SHN_UNDEF symbol, ie. the PLT entry
+   address.  For relocations in ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_PLT (eg. the relocs in
+   the PLT itself), ld.so should use the value of the corresponding
+   defined symbol in the object that defines the function, ie. the
+   real function address.  This complicates ld.so in that there are
+   now two possible values for a given symbol, and it gets even worse
+   because protected symbols need yet another set of rules.
+
+   On PowerPC64 we don't need any of this.  The linker won't emit
+   SHN_UNDEF symbols with non-zero values.  ld.so can make all
+   relocations behave "normally", ie. always use the real address
+   like PLT relocations.  So always set ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_PLT.  */
