Looking at the effect of -ffreestanding on ARM, it appears that on one
hand, the overall image size is reduced by 0.016% but we end up with worse
code - eg, strlen() of the same string in the same function evaluated
multiple times vs once without -ffreestanding.
The difference probably comes down to the lack of __attribute__((pure))
on our string functions in linux/string.h.
If we are going to go for -ffreestanding, we need to fix linux/string.h
in that respect _first_.
