That is obviously not the way to go, sure.

I think no target solves this, if they see an extern call during expansion
and emit some directive for those, they emit the global or whatever directive
which remains there.
If all bits for CALL_INSN are taken, can't we add a flag on the CALL
rtx inside of the CALL_INSN pattern? Or a flag on the SYMBOL_REF inside of
it (libcalls are always direct calls, aren't they) or SYMBOL_REF_FLAGS ?
