Hmmm... Strange... It builds for me without any issues. I use latest
Debian testing, gcc version 12.2.0 (Debian 12.2.0-9). It builds with
gcc version 6.3.0 20170516 (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1) too. What compiler
do you use?

Nope...

What do you mean by "supported"? It is build tested and, AIUI, all "make check"
tests pass. Though I am not sure anybody uses this kinda weird target. Well,
I think I knew but I forgot... :-)
