"naked" functions are often useful in embedded systems, and are
therefore useful (and implemented) on many gcc targets. It would make
sense to have the attribute available universally in gcc, if that
doesn't involve a lot of extra work, even though it is of little use on
"big" systems (Linux, Windows, etc.).
