Hi Jeremy,

thanks for your reply.  Some observations:

I guess the 64KB size depends from the offset that is possible to 
specify to a JUMP instruction.  Is the 128MB value related to the same 
reason (number of bytes of the immediate value considering the sign and 
the shift)?

Also, do we need a PLT or we can use just the GOT table?  What about the 
size for any entry in the GOT table?

I don't have other questions at the moment :-)

Thanks,
Giuseppe
