You need to

	(1) compile all you objects with `-mno-abicalls'.
	(2) build a version of libgcc.a compiled with `-mno-abicalls',
	    and make sure you link with that.

A simple way to achieve (2) is to put a version of `libgcc.a' that has
been compiled with `-mno-abicalls' in /usr/lib/nonshared.  To create
that, you need to obtain a copy of the gcc source distribution, replace
the `-g1' with `-mno-abicalls' in the definition of LIBGCC2_CFLAGS in
the Makefile in the gcc source directory, type `make libgcc.a', and
then copy libgcc.a to /usr/lib/nonshared.  You may then need to compile
with `-L/usr/lib/nonshared'.
