is -fno-toplevel-reorder going to deprecate

[Sergey Yakoushkin]

Hi, Ian

I mean exactly -fno-toplevel-reorder option. There are some compilers
which don't support it.
If option is going to deprecate in gcc in near future as well, than it
make sense to consider changes in glibc(eglibc).
So, there are no plans to deprecate option. Did I understand correctly?
