No, it doesn't. His implementation of multiple code segments has a very serious
inherent flaw in it, and what's worse you now have a 32 KB per segment limit
which unlike in earlier versions is now practically unbreakable.

We are talking about different problems. I'm not talking about the libgcc.a
thing, I'm talking about the unforeseen negative interaction between multiple
code segments and floating point which is a direct result of the inherently
flawed design of the former.
