Hm, yes. I was misled by that final comment. It doesn't seem to be in
gcc-4_4-branch; you're right.

I don't suppose we can ditch GCC 4.4 support too?

I hesitate slightly because *last* time I said 'here's a nickel, kid.
Get yourself a better compiler' I then ended up spending a month or so
hacking LLVM to add .code16 support... :)

You were Cc'd because I just revived an old thread and you were already
on it. But don't let me discourage you!

My *primary* motivation right now is getting our OpenSSL patches
upstream though, and fixing PR50818 doesn't really help with that in
the short term. But it *would* be nice.
