How else do you get the right symbol info ?

But as I have said lowering functions donot generate there substitute value
symbols in the Module. They just magically appear in the relocations without
being in the module. This is a design flaw in LLVM.

I have done a hack in the COFF writer's relocation code to get round this
for now. But it does not work very well with symbol indexes.

But am thinking of doing a cleanup pass, or walk the module to get this
info.

What do you mean "You should not be walking the module." ?

Thanks,

Aaron
