You don't by chance just tried the patch in 
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2003-09/msg00175.html
which is simpler?  IMHO a hash table better fits the problem at hand, 
because you look for an answer to "is there anything with this same 
address", which a hashtable can answer faster than any bisection search.


Ciao,
Michael.
