Agreed.  For -Os, it will probably be better to make the call, even for
a 6-instruction sequence, and there's no reason to have the call go to
big, slow code.  You might look at defining __umulsidi3 for ARM, as it
looks like lots of other architectures have asm implementations that
might be a lot more efficient than the default.
