as can the GNU linker for PowerPC/64. It is planned to add this feature
to the GNU linker for 32-bit PowerPC systems as well.
+On Mach-O (Darwin) systems, this option directs the compiler emit to

In the future, we may cause GCC to ignore all longcall specifications
when the linker is known to generate glue.
