Um.. unless I'm reading that maze of #if's and conditionals wrong.. that's only being done in a few cases, specifically never on linux. And either way, are you asserting that all compilers do that?
No. I'm asserting that it is a compiler issue, and an easily dealt with one, not a language issue.
As for why the backend does it for some platforms and not for others, I was merely mimicking what other compilers did for each platform. I know that Win32 requires this behavior, I was unsure about Linux. We can certainly investigate turning it on for Linux.
