At the last minute, they were switched from __x86_indirect_thunk_rax to
__x86_indirect_thunk_ax without the 'r' or 'e' on the register name.
Except for the _r[89..] versions, obviously.
This is not entirely an improvement, IMO.

I think we *shouldn't* do this. Uros said we could look at it and make
a decision, and GCC would implement what we decide. Up to Linus.
I'm sending this because I've built the compiler with the proposed
changes and tested it, and it's quarter past Monday and I'm done. Not
because I really want it.
