// an indirect ref (this is an excerpt from objdump -ldr):
//
//	     1c1: 48 89 c6                     	movq	%rax, %rsi
//	     1c4: ff 15 00 00 00 00            	callq	*(%rip)
//			00000000000001c6:  IMAGE_REL_AMD64_REL32	__imp__errno
//
// In the assembly above, the code loads up the value of __imp_errno
// and then does an indirect call to that value.
//
// Here is what a direct reference might look like:
//
//	     137: e9 20 06 00 00               	jmp	0x75c <pow+0x75c>
//	     13c: e8 00 00 00 00               	callq	0x141 <pow+0x141>
//			000000000000013d:  IMAGE_REL_AMD64_REL32	_errno
//
// The assembly below dispenses with the import symbol and just makes
// a direct call to _errno.
//
// The code below handles indirect refs by redirecting the target of
// the relocation from "__imp_XYZ" to "XYZ" (since the latter symbol
// is what the Windows loader is expected to resolve). For direct refs
// the call is redirected to a stub, where the stub first loads the
// symbol and then direct an indirect call to that value.
//
// Note that for a given symbol (as above) it is perfectly legal to
// have both direct and indirect references.
