Yes.  Instead of a direct call, load the fptr for _mcount and do an
indirect call.  That'll avoid the dynamic linker.  You can conditionalize
this on cfun->static_chain_decl to avoid the extra work when nested
functions aren't involved.

Also, technically fptrs (and thus dynamic linking) isn't used when either
TARGET_NO_PIC or TARGET_AUTO_PIC are set.  Of course, I wouldn't expect
nested functions to be used here either, but...
