Back when i enabled it, the ADI toolchain gcc was pretty old compared to
what we got with this.
But newer gcc versions are broken, and although it may be something
simple to fix, i'm not inclined to dig further.
So it's probably best to just disable it, after all if someone wants to
throw some time into fixing it, it's just a line away from re-enabling
it and doing so.
