During final only if all the targets can deal with the effects of
assemble_external_libcall being done in the middle of emitting assembly
for the function.
Otherwise, it could be e.g. done in the first loop of shorten_branches.
Note, in calls.cc it is done only for emit_library_call_value_1
and not for emit_call_1, so if we do it late, we need to be able to find
out what call is to a libcall and what is to a normal call. If there is
no way to differentiate it right now, perhaps we need some flag somewhere,
say on a SYMBOL_REF. And then assemble_external_libcall either only
if such a SYMBOL_REF appears in CALL_INSN or sibcall JUMP_INSN, or
perhaps anywhere in the function and its constant pool.
