Sort-of, but not really.  We're still using a gnu binutils feature
that provides similar functionality, but is represented differently
in the ELF object file.  The gnu binutils feature pre-dates the new
ELF spec by at least 4 years.

GCC has little to do with this; it's almost all binutils work.

I don't know of anyone working on it.
