Maybe (and I realise other ports do) but in some ways it gives the worst of both worlds. libsupc++ and libstdc++ will end up eating chunks of the small data area without getting any real benefit from it. A configure-time option is likely to be more convenient for folks who use -G0 because you don't have to coerce every build system to add it on the command line. And it wouldn't penalise those who want to use the usual -G8. Richard
