*
* This is needed because the C standard makes it undefined to do
* pointer arithmetic on "objects" outside their boundaries and the
* gcc optimizers assume this is the case. In particular they
* assume such arithmetic does not wrap.
*
* A miscompilation has been observed because of this on PPC.
* To work around it we hide the relationship of the pointer and the object
* using this macro.
*
* Versions of the ppc64 compiler before 4.1 had a bug where use of
* RELOC_HIDE could trash r30. The bug can be worked around by changing
* the inline assembly constraint from =g to =r, in this particular
* case either is valid.
