Any chance that this could be made the compiler default, so that distros wouldn't need to do anything?
I think getting most code built with that flag is probably the worst possible solution, whether by changing the compiler default or convincing distros to do it. No single project should dictate (or even try to dictate) the ABI of an entire platform.
