I don't see a need for this.

I'd like to avoid this if possible. I can see the use of an elf flag to
stop possible interlinking - but I don't think we need to make Jim go to
contortions to make this work. Duplicated code is a bad thing and we
should avoid it if possible. As long as there's a generic method to stop
interlinking for architectures without branch delay slots i think we're
going to be ok here.

I'll now sit back and prepare to be flamed for this.
