It works incidentally.  I think, in the past we've got the entire
avr-libc within a single section, so chances were better everything
has been linked together local enough to meet the RJMP condition.
Now, with the per-function sections, chances are better they get far
apart in the resulting binary.

We should turn them all into long jumps/calls, and have the linker
relaxations do their job later on.

Your proposed solution looks easy to implement, though I'd prefer if
we could instead move *all* of avr-libc's functions that duplicate
libgcc functionality out into libgcc.  Obviously, that requires that
all relevant contributors agree to re-license their code under GPL,
and to sign the dreaded (and IMHO pretty useless) FSF copyright
assignment.

Only failing that, I'd like to see yet another hack …
