I see no reason it could make sense for this to be specific to x86.  GCC 
should be consistent between different targets where possible.  As a gABI 
feature, this indicates enabling it for all ELF targets rather than just 
for x86 GNU/Linux - and maybe disabling for specific target OSes if there 
prove to be problems for those specific ELF targets.
