Joke of the day for PA userspace hackers...
parisc,
Two programmers are seated at a bar hacking on PARISC, when Joe turns to Jill and says:
Joe: "I tried calling the function by it's address" Jill: "Just lop off the first 2 bits." Joe: "Hey! It worked?! What did that do?" Jill: "I don't know, but it's a clever fix, without a changelog,
that I keep seeing in debian binutils and gdb code"
*ba dump ching*
Function descriptors :)

Won't work on hppa64 :)) Our ctor/dtor pointers are not function pointers.
