Yes. Instead of a direct call, load the fptr for _mcount and do an indirect call. That'll avoid the dynamic linker. You can conditionalize this on cfun->static_chain_decl to avoid the extra work when nested functions aren't involved. Also, technically fptrs (and thus dynamic linking) isn't used when either TARGET_NO_PIC or TARGET_AUTO_PIC are set. Of course, I wouldn't expect nested functions to be used here either, but... r~
