Can't this 'big code' __do_copy_data() be renamed to 
__big_code_copy_data() and be stored also
in libgcc.a ? So one can provide its own also?

Okay, I filled a bug report (#14262) about avr-libc documentation but 
when I use -nostartfiles, I also
loose the vector table, so I guess that I've to build and provide my own?
