Jump tables relocated against symbols emitted mutiple times, where the
corresponding copy was dropped. See
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-04/msg00191.html

As a workaround, try to find out which switch statement causes it and
don't inline the function (a function complex enough to contain a
switch statement probably shouldn't be inline, anyway).
