I've tried to compile a same compilation unit with gcc and clang. gcc is
inlining the call to __aebi_*. See below:

Clang assembly:
000002b8 <wallclock_time>:
 2b8:   e92d4800        push    {fp, lr}
 2bc:   e1a0b00d        mov     fp, sp
 2c0:   e3a01024        mov     r1, #36 ; 0x24
 2c4:   e3a02000        mov     r2, #0
 2c8:   ebfffffe        bl      0 <__aeabi_memset>
 2cc:   e8bd8800        pop     {fp, pc}

GCC assembly:

00000378 <wallclock_time>:
 378:   e52db004        push    {fp}            ; (str fp, [sp, #-4]!)
 37c:   e28db000        add     fp, sp, #0
 380:   e3a02000        mov     r2, #0
 384:   e1a03000        mov     r3, r0
 388:   e4832004        str     r2, [r3], #4
 38c:   e5802004        str     r2, [r0, #4]
 390:   e2833004        add     r3, r3, #4
 394:   e4832004        str     r2, [r3], #4
 398:   e4832004        str     r2, [r3], #4
 39c:   e4832004        str     r2, [r3], #4
 3a0:   e4832004        str     r2, [r3], #4
 3a4:   e4832004        str     r2, [r3], #4
 3a8:   e4832004        str     r2, [r3], #4
 3ac:   e5832000        str     r2, [r3]
 3b0:   e24bd000        sub     sp, fp, #0
 3b4:   e49db004        pop     {fp}            ; (ldr fp, [sp], #4)
 3b8:   e12fff1e        bx      lr
