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:
