ac187dc4ab Always indirect branch to __libc_start_main via GOT
Since __libc_start_main in libc.so is called very early, lazy binding
isn't relevant.  Always call __libc_start_main with indirect branch via
GOT to avoid extra branch to PLT slot.  In case of static executable,
ld in binutils 2.26 or above can convert indirect branch into direct
branch:

21683b5a7d Replace @PLT with @GOTPCREL(%rip) in call
Since __libc_start_main is called very early, lazy binding isn't relevant
here.  Use indirect branch via GOT to avoid extra branch to PLT slot.

	[BZ #19745]
	* sysdeps/x86_64/start.S (_start): __libc_start_main@PLT
	with *__libc_start_main@GOTPCREL(%rip) in call.

467fec0bb4 sysdeps/x86_64/start.S doesn't have a .size elf directive for _start.
This tripped up some analysis I was doing.

This patch is the straightforward fix.

I see no regressions on a "make check" using ENTRY and END.
