According to 'gcc -dumpspecs' of Cygwin gcc 4.3.4-3, options '-u

the exe startup code these symbols are loaded only if present, so the
DLL must be forced to load first.
As a consequence, the symbols are also set undefined when the GRUB
pre-*.o files are generated with 'ld -r'.
The attached patch works for me with the bzr revision preceding the
NEED_REGISTER_FRAME_INFO fix.
Doesn't it risk linking e.g. __bswapsi2 into every module which uses it
during partial link? It would increase module size on RISC
Partial linking with '-Wl,-r' does never pull any code from libraries.
Specifying '-lgcc' has no effect in this case.
Cannot test this on RISC, it is at least true on i686-linux, -freebsd
and -cygwin.
