--- Comment #51 from Alexander Monakov <amonakov at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Michael, can you give your ack/nack for Ard's proposal in comment #24 (the second variant, I guess keying off -m[no-]direct-extern-access doesn't make sense here). I think it properly addresses what you said in comment #12, considering how the motivation for PLT avoidance seems lost to history. (mcount doesn't follow the usual psABI, it must preserve all registers, but even considering that I still fail to see why it was necessary to avoid PLT for it)
