I hope you're only talking about having it "become the default" as
an intermediate stage toward getting rid of the older way of handling
source locations.  gcc has way too many knobs, and there are far
too many combinations of options to test.  If this works, and if it's
an improvement, then we should just convert to it and not look back.
