If I remove the compiler -ma-step option now, it will be about 3-6 months
before you see it in an OS release. I believe now is the right time
to drop support for it, as it doesn't make sense for next year's compiler
releases to contain A step processor support. The current compiler release
will obviously continue to support A step, so this does not effect anyone who
is currently still using A step machines.
