As Rich Felker wrote in an email i haven't yet received in my mailbox,
he thinks it's better to put the exceptions in the Makefile. I'm going
to update the patch accordingly (and split in two, one for GCC and LLVM
LTO fixes and one for CFI)

The used attribute is a workaround for a LLVM bug that has existed for
quite some time. GCC does not have a problem with the functions marked
used, but instead requires _dlstart_c to be marked as such.
