This explanation is quite simple, we haven't fully validated Linux with those options on. As it may take a while until I am getting a more complete image on this enhancement for Linux, I've enabled this option for elf, where I've got very good feedback from our gnu users.
Normally, it should be no problem to enable them for Linux as well, but I would like to have more testing data on this subject from various gnu users.
Thanks,
