* calls.c (prepare_call_address): Transform PLT call to GOT lookup and

	indirect call by forcing address into a pseudo with -fno-plt.
	* common.opt (flag_plt): New option.
	* doc/invoke.texi (Code Generation Options): Add -fno-plt.
	([-fno-plt]): Document.

+Do not use PLT for external function calls in position-independent code.
+Instead, load callee address at call site from GOT and branch to it.
+This leads to more efficient code by eliminating PLT stubs and exposing
+GOT load to optimizations.  On architectures such as 32-bit x86 where
+PLT stubs expect GOT pointer in a specific register, this gives more
+register allocation freedom to the compiler.  Lazy binding requires PLT:
+with @option{-fno-plt} all external symbols are resolved at load time.
