SUN's ABI on merging vtables

This is an item assigned to me last thursday:

About merging (actually concatenating) vtables, I found that our current ABI 
didn't change on how we generate vtables since the last ABI (what Matt 
indicated).  So the current ABI document you have is correct in the vtable
generation aspect.

The reason for generating one name per vtable, regardless of how many parts
the vtable may have, is to minimize the entries we generate into the GOT 
(global offset table) section of our PIC object files.
