[patch] fix profiling in glibc for Linux/MIPS


_mcount was doing awful things to its caller's stack frame.

Theoretically, we can get by with 16 bytes less of stack than I now
allocate, but GCC still considers functions that call _mcount to be leaf
functions, so that doesn't work.  I think this is close enough; it only adds
one instruction.  Is this OK?  Do I need a "nop" after the subu?  My MIPS
assembly knowledge is not that thorough.
