Um ... if you look at the Makefile you'll see we already build parisc
with -ffunction-sections; we have to: our relative jumps are too small
to guarantee finding the stubs in large files.
Since our text is -ffunction-sections compatible already, I question the
need for transformations like this:

And thus by the same token the data transformations.
