Shared object binary size reduction:
x84_64           : 16112 bytes
ARM64            : 16008 bytes
ARM64(+Os)       : 21592 bytes
ARMv7(+Os+mthumb): 18480 bytes

Size reduction of symbols:
x84_64           : 15712 bytes
ARM64            : 18688 bytes
ARM64(+Os)       : 18404 bytes
ARMv7(+Os+mthumb): 17322 bytes

Compiles were done with clang version 18.1.8 and symbol sizes were
obtained using nm on the shared object.

Provides speed ups on older ARM64 cpus with very little impact on other
cpus.
