This is what I was talking about when I suggested the language maintain
a big list of all the addresses of each function, and after the function
gets loaded or compiled it is added to the big list, and after this stage
the placeholder in the op can be replaced with a longjump.

Since the shared segments live at different addresses in different
processes (or should I have stayed awake through that lecture)


And there you go, a JIT.
