Hi Andreas,

>>   "Mark the symbol as an indirect function.  This has the same

>>    a relocation.  In this case the symbol's value is not used in
>>    the relocation but instead the symbol is invoked as a function
>>    taking no arguments and the return value is used in the
>>    relocation.  This also means that processing of the relocation
>>    must be delayed until run-time".

OK - I have committed the change.
