The function is required by the ABI, you need to have it.
You get *fewer* insns statically, and that is what -Os is about: reduce
the size of the binaries.
(The only reason you get such problems is because Linux does not have
all of libgcc. You can have that *and* have some symbols cause link
errors, it isn't rocket science).
