Oh, wow, no I did not. If my reading is correct, that's GCC only? I've
been using various combinations of newer (5.2) and older (4.14.y --
didn't have that patch) kernels, older GCC (doesn't have that feature
AFAICT), and newer Clang (doesn't appear to have that feature). So I'm
not totally sure if I ever actually tried a combo that *could* make
use of that. But I may give it another shot.

In the event that this is GCC-specific...I don't suppose I could
convince anybody to expend any effort (e.g., taking a patch like mine)
to solve it for the non-GCC world?

Thanks for the tip,
Brian
