It's nearly impossible to make the patch compartmentalized, but pretty
much all of the changes would be clearly disabled and no-ops unless
the flag was given in the command line.
That said, I found out there's still a long way to go before this is
actually a no-op in terms of generated code (other than debug info,
that is), as far as testsuite results, target libraries and other
ports are concerned, so I'm thinking this is very unlikely to make 4.3
:-(
