I've heard no objections to this. The option is already disabled for a random set of mips/mipsel flavours, and turns out to crash gcc 4.8 in the other configurations (#726867). And it also caused FTBFS on powerpc (which is a kernel bug, but indicative that this option is not being widely tested). We definitely still need it for the flash-constrained armel flavours, and m68k also explicitly sets it so I assume that kernel image size is important there. But I'm now going to disable it for everything else. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings friends: People who know you well, but like you anyway.
