I'm not _sure_ since i've not done alpha assembly poking for a few
years.


For instance, from one of my NetBSD/alpha systems (running a slightly
older version of the tools):

(gdb) x/x 0xfffffc0000300194
0xfffffc0000300194 <alpha_pal_wrfen>:   0x0000002b
(gdb) x/i 0xfffffc0000300194
0xfffffc0000300194 <alpha_pal_wrfen>:   call_pal        0x2b

(that's also how the code is assembled.  the relevant assembly source
does "call_pal PAL_OSF1_wrfen", where PAL_OSF1_wrfen is defined to
0x2b).
