The comment for this option says: "watch out for broken compilers," if
this doesn't hold any more, it should be remove, if it still holds, I
wouldn't turn this on by default, as I don't think we can test all
possible (cross- or native-) compilers users might want to use. In any
case this is one of options that users can select themselves, if it suits
them. Also I don't think your CC list is correct, you wanted to send this
to the powerpc list and one of powerpc / subarch maintainer.
Thanks
