I think he means there's not a 'mem32_serial_in.cfi_jt' symbol at
'__typeid__ZTSFjmiE_global_addr+8'.  Probably more aggressive symbol
pruning from the assembler.

It's fine though.  I just need to rewrite the CFI support a bit.

But that can come later.  For now I'll just drop the two CFI-related
patches from this set so I can merge the others next week.
