Some distros enable it by default in their packages.
On the other side, I think one doesn't want to enable it in development
builds for usual testing, you don't want to have all ICEs take 3 times as
long to compile and dump garbage into /tmp all the time.
You want to enable it only if you use such built compiler for testing other
stuff later.
