It's not that bad. It's just about using a trampolin for symbols not
marked as dllimport/dllexport. The medium and large code models allow
to drop the requirement to mark symbols as DLL symbols and still link
the executable correctly, even in the big 44 bit address room of x86_64.
The problem stems from the fact that the x86_64 64 bit instruction set
doesn't know relative jumps with more than 31 bit displacement.
The only really bad problem is, sombody has to create a patch for clang...
