Ah, I see... In my build, it was inlined by gcc (GCC-13), but I cannot
rely on that. Too bad...

OTOH I don't think it's worth implementing full support for GOT,
especially for functions that are not needed. I would rather either
write a RISC-V implementation of memcmp(), or split memcmp() from
lib/string.c.

Stay tuned for v2.
