This breaks the bootwrapper as we'd need to link with libgcc to get
the
implementation of the register save/restores.
To workaround this issue, we just stole the save/restore code from
gcc
and simplified it down for our needs (integer only).
Why can't we link with libgcc, instead?
we possibly could, the problem is knowing the path of libgcc to link
with. This seemed easier to me than the makefile headaches to ensure
that we get that right.
