This is still in the works and not in 3.1 if I recall correctly.

I'm still convinced that the more demanding CPUs nowaday are a huge
factor in the slowness of GCC, be it directly or indirectly. For
instance some transformations wouldn't make sense on a simple minded CPU
like a 8051 because (nearly) all instructions take the same time and
branches are no issue there.
