--- Comment #1 from Ard Biesheuvel <ardb at kernel dot org> --- I don't think -mdirect-extern-access should be used when creating shared libraries, is there any reason in particular this is being used? However, given that this is a function call, I'd expect the direct version to be emitted as 'call mcount@PLT' rather than 'call mcount' - this may be an oversight on my part when I added this support for -mdirect-extern-access
