Sorry for the delay.

We just need add -mcmodel=medium to four files not all.

Here are my patches:

In my build libc_nonshared.a only contains:

- at_quick_exit.oS
- atexit.oS
- pthread_atfork.oS
- stack_chk_fail_local.oS

Small code model can support a 128MiB .text section, and most
applications have a .text section < 128MiB.  But Firefox libxul.so can
be extremely large.

It's not worthy to pay the cost everywhere just for satisfying a monster
application.
