Hi Florian,

Thanks a lot, Florian! I got it to work under Linux x64.
My error was that I had declared the label in C++ as `extern void*
SafeFetch_continuation`. Declaring it as `extern char
_SafeFetch32_continuation[] __attribute__ ((visibility ("hidden")));` as you
suggested does the trick. I'm not sure I understand the difference.

I don't understand this remark, what does Itanium have to do with this?
