That's because the out-of-line prologue/epilogue register save and
restore functions are only used at -Os (they save size).
Now I believe, but don't quote me on that, that the linker
should insert a copy of these functions in every shared library
since these functions have non standard linkage and probably
would not survive crossing shared library boundaries.
I can see a bug if the shared library text size is above
32M or so (needs several copies of these functions), but
I don't think the libraries are that big.
But I may be completely wrong on the last 2 paragraphs.
