And I also never said that every user should rebuild the toolchain. The options can be used by vendors providing a toolchain for their hardware, if the verbose handler (or exceptions in general!) are not appropriate for their users. Just because something isn't the default, doesn't mean every user needs to change it themselves. And if writing a script and waiting an hour is too much effort to reduce unwanted overhead, then I guess that overhead isn't such a big deal anyway.
