MIPS code size strangeness

Hiya,

Well, let's dig into it a bit more. See what the latest gcc (5, or 6)
will do when building a freebsd mips userland. It may also be
something stupid - eg we can mark some code to stop inlining.

MIPS binaries are going to be bigger than CISC binaries - but it
shouldn't be /that/ much bigger. If there's cut/paste code that we can
uninline, libraryify, etc to save space then we should.
