Details

Currently libgcc.a and libstdc++.a are not built as PIC. From my experiments, this should get us between 2 and 5% less time spent before main(), provided bug 646815 is fixed as well. From my experiments, all that is needed is to add --with-pic as a compile option to gcc (which I did through build/tools/build-gcc.sh), and add -fPIC to libgcc config options (which I did through the TARGET_LIBGCC2_CFLAGS variable in src/gcc/gcc-4.4.0/gcc/config/arm/t-arm-softfp, though there's probably a better place)
