This is pretty bad, because the ash that is currently in the archive
for Alpha is 0.3.8-20, which was severely broken and makes the boot
floppies unusable.

I don't understand this symbol magic; applying this patch helps, but I
have no idea if it is correct. If the point was only to save a few
bytes, one could perhaps try to present it to gcc in a way so it can
be inlined.
