I wonder however whether it would be possible to remove the new command

28-bit or 32-bit PLT entries ?

The problem is that decision on PLT entry size is done long before we actually output PLT entries. Fixing this would require a non-trivial code churn which I'm a bit scared to do...

Note that most of the people are probably ok with existing 28-bit entries (otherwise we'd know about this issue long ago).
