Sounds good. Let's wait for others to chime in. Maybe Richard? :)

AFAIU libcs (like `glibc`) try hard not to use link tests and uses
mainly preprocessor and code generator to specifically accommodate this
case. Maybe there is a way to pass the support flag to libc without the
reliance on code presence in libgcc.

Otherwise we could use __builtin_trap() as an implementation for exposed
symbols.
