I'm not sure we need that anymore. I think Thomas added a patch that can
disable the cases that gcc causes the function graph to fail.

I pushed a patch before that also runs a check at compile time to make
sure that gcc does not produce a bad mcount setup that would screw up
the function graph tracer.

It probably still makes sense to add it.
