In linux kernel since version 4.4 (release Date: 2016-01-10)
Pass the -mcompact-branches=always flag to the compiler in order to
force it to always emit compact branches, making no use of branch
instructions with delay slots. This can result in more compact code
which may be beneficial in some scenarios.
