@item FUNCTION_OK_FOR_SIBCALL (@var{decl})
A C expression that evaluates to true if it is ok to perform a sibling
call to @var{decl}.
It is not uncommon for limitations of calling conventions to prevent
tail calls to functions outside the current unit of translation, or
during PIC compilation. Use this macro to enforce these restrictions,
as the @code{sibcall} md pattern can not fail, or fall over to a
``normal'' call.
