Stuff in lib/ is C, right? So the compiler/linker should pick appropriate
jump instruction, weird.
AVR32 arch got some fixes, but I would assume they are not related to this
7a2a74f4b856993218aa7cdeeb6c3103101340db avr32: setup crt for early panic()
and
d617b338bbfdd77e9cbd8e7dc949cee3dd73d575 avr32: fix out-of-range jump in
large kernels
I would be surprised if they are related to the code in lib/.
