I cannot reproduce this with gcc-4.6.2 under Debian.  This might be a problem
with your 4.4.3 based toolchain.

__mcount_loc is not a symbol, but rather a section that exists in each
object when certain debugging and tracing features are enabled.  The
linker should just be merely combining the multiple instances
together, rather than warning that there is more than one instance.
