It has certainly worked (on some targets) in the recent past; it may need
some tweaking to work with the new ABI, but I would not be surprised if it
worked now.  It doesn't make sense to me to disable a useful (and actively
used, if mostly on embedded targets) flag because it might have a couple of
bugs.
