for space. -Os could do this, but it was easy to hack an MD version.
This saves a whole 32 bytes in boot2, so I think it is worth using it.
(keep how much worse gcc 3.2 will compile boot2...)

The changes from GCC 2.95.3 to 3.1 are large and it is hard to figure
out how to apply our changes. Once BDE can properly test GCC 3.1 he'll
add back in our changes.
Remove our definition for FUNCTION_PROFILER as it is wrong.
Note that "jsr $28,_mcount" is a macro for
ldq $27, _mcount($29) !literal!1
jsr $28, ($27), _mcount !lituse_jsr!1
1. The call to _mcount is added by alpha_expand_prologue after we load the gp.
Our _mcount uses $27 for the incoming address, unlike OSF/1 and Linux,
which use $28. This probably doesn't matter since we probably don't use $27
within _mcount itself.
2. You can't use this insn with _mcount because it uses the PLT, which clobbers
the return address in $28. Note that the prologue_mcount pattern carefully
avoids adding the lituse_jsr relocation so that we call through the GOT
directly.

When rtld runs the .fini section in a shared lib (C++), the code in
question from .../contrib/gdb/config/alpha/crtbegin.asm first calls
__do_globals_dtors_aux and then __do_frame_takedown. Unfortunately, the
value of gp after a jsr is undefined and in this case had changed from before
the call, probably as a result of calling code in some other shared library.
The normal calling convention for alpha is to re-initialize gp using
'ldgp gp,0(ra)' after a jsr instruction but in this case no such
re-initialization is done. This leads to a bogus value being read for the
address of __do_frame_takedown and a quick segfault.

If "WANT_DWARF2_UNWIND" you get it. Note that this is a different C++ ABI
than the FreeBSD default. So you will need to recompile all your C++ apps
that uses exceptions if you turn this on. I am adding it here for Yahoo!'s
use and for those that want to be early adopters to what I will make as the
default with the GCC 3.0 import.
header to reduce the difference of our sources to the stock GNU/FSF ones.
While the mix binary format support was nice to have in the FreeBSD MI
header as a frame work, it just clutters up too much and makes the FreeBSD
MI header more different from the FSF/GNU stock one than it needs to be.
into the i386 MD FreeBSD header. Also comment tweaking, continuation line
style changes, and other minor changes to make this closer to the latest
FSF/GNU 3.0 sources (to reduce my headache when 3.0 is imported).
