Yes. With perhaps and added -mno-string or similar if
some supported CPU really needs it.

This is way complicated. Also, it is not unique to the
kernel; you'd be better off adding this logic to the
compiler itself. OTOH, it's such a niche market, maybe
the distros that want it (if any do) should do this in
their RPM build scripts or similar.
