Just to add, this target macro was defined in GCC 2.8.0 in i386.h but
not used in any other sources.
apinski@xeond:~/src/upstream-gcc/gcc$ git grep SLOW_SHORT_ACCESS
releases/gcc-2.8.0
releases/gcc-2.8.0:gcc/config/i386/i386.h:#define SLOW_SHORT_ACCESS 0
So it looks like it was never used for the last 24+ years and it is
time to finally remove it.
Thanks,
