Are you sure no other architectures need this? gcc tends to get
extremely reluctant about inlining when compiling with -Os, and I have
a hard time believing that avr32 is the only architecture that can't
call functions before the GOT has been initialized.

Actually, we probably can call functions before the GOT has been set up
if ldso is compiled with enough optimization, but I think it's more
robust to just make sure that the functions that are called early are
always inlined.
