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.
