Nah, the most it does is drops those ifnc lines in there on newer gccs.
They will appear only on
gcc-4 and earlier and
if we're -fPIC and
if we're -m32 and
if we have enough register pressure to force gcc to use the PIC register
It was a good exercise for me to see in detail how would I go about
doing a gcc-specific workaround.
