Comment (by vinc17):
And since not all platforms (including Linux ones[*]) need it, I don't
think that it should be enabled by default. Actually, it would probably be
better to ask the vendor to fix the issue in the C library as long as this
is not done upstream.
[*] According to http://www.eglibc.org/archives/patches/msg00772.html
"many GNU/Linux distributions (well, at least Debian and derivatives) have
patched glibc downstream as per above (not to mention BSD systems where
this is the unpatched behavior) making it a de-facto behavior."

particular the latest comments).
