/*
 * On Solaris 2.6, when the function being jumped to is an external symbol of
 * a shared library, the jump actually points to an ELF indirect jump:
 *   jmp *PTR
 * where PTR initially contains the address of some resolving routine which
 * will replace the PTR contents with the actual code address of the function
 * and then jump to the function.
 * Unfortunately, this resolving routine clobbers all three registers:
 * %eax, %edx, %ecx. Must pass the additional data via the stack.
 * A simple "pushl $<data>" is not sufficient: it causes trouble if the called
 * function is compiled with -fomit-frame-pointer.
