No-one of the people reading the list. Which is not saying much.
Before you remove it, you should deprecate it, i.e. emit a warning if
this option is passed to cc1 (that would be in c-decl.c:c_decode_option).
It would be good if that could still go into 3.0, otherwise we won't hear
from anyone who would be affected for a long while.
