commit fc3a55ccec9bc770c79f8a221f5abd397befc8f6
Author: Harshit Chopra <hars...@google.com>

Instead of emitting absolute addresses to the function patch sections, emit
relative addresses. Absolute addresses might require relocation, which is time
consuming and fraught with other issues.
M gcc/config/i386/i386.c
Tested:
Ran make check-gcc and manually confirmed that the affected tests pass.
