Yes and no.  Yes, it works on some platforms, no, it doesn't work on
some platforms.  If you're interested in a better quality answer, I'd
need a better quality question.  ;-) The general rule is, elf and
better and it'll work, a.out and worse and it won't.

Not only is this code in snapshots, but it is also has been around for
a very very long while.

Ok.  Sounds like a bug, bugs should be reported.

> Is -frepo being updated to work,

It won't be without bug reports.  With bug reports it stands a chance
at bug fixes.  Generally speaking, if you want to know if it works in
a particular instance, you're going to have to try it.

Nope.
