+Normally, the C++ compiler uses function pointers in vtables. This
+macro allows the target to change to use ``function descriptors''
+instead. Function descriptors are found on targets for whom a
+function pointer is actually a small data structure. Normally the
+data structure consists of the actual code address plus a data
+pointer to which the function's data is relative.
+
+If vtables are used, the value of this macro should be the number
+of words that the function descriptor occupies.
