// the callee. The relocation to the callee is redirected to the Thunk, which
// after executing transfers control to the callee. Typical uses of Thunks
// include transferring control from non-pi to pi and changing state on
// targets like ARM.
//
// Thunks can be created for DefinedRegular, Shared and Undefined Symbols.
// Thunks are assigned to synthetic ThunkSections
