Hi All,

I am trying to understand the limitations (if any libgcc) has concerning
embedded targets.

In particular I am attempting to follow the instructions here: Freestanding
Environments (Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC))
<https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Freestanding-Environments.html> to
obtain code coverage; I can compile, however I am seeing some linker errors
like the following:

```bash
/usr/bin/ld:
/tmp/ccX2ca3G.ltrans0.ltrans.o:/edk2/OvmfPkg/EmuVariableFvbRuntimeDxe/FvbCov.c:83:
undefined reference to `my_info'
/usr/bin/ld:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/12/libgcov.a(_gcov_info_to_gcda.o): in
function `__gcov_info_to_gcda':
(.text+0x31d): undefined reference to `mmap'
/usr/bin/ld:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/12/libgcov.a(_gcov_info_to_gcda.o): in
function `__gcov_info_to_gcda.cold':
(.text.unlikely+0x1): undefined reference to `abort'
/usr/bin/ld: warning: creating DT_TEXTREL in a PIE
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
```

My environment lacks any standard lib and I have the following
compiler/linker options:

compiler

Let me know if there are additional info, in the meantime I will create a
more minimal build environment to try and narrow down the possibilities.

Thank you :)
