Right, but while working on this I discovered GCC's -mrecord-mcount (and the kernel using this), so how much do we really still need the record-mcount tool? Do we really only need the tool for the little hole between gcc-4.6 (minimal supported GCC version) and gcc-5 (when -mrecord-mcount was introduced) ?
