Please keep the commit message to a (short) description of the patch,
and move the rationale to a comment below the '---' line.

Also: what is the benefit of creating an elaborate mechanism to hide
a warning message that says the option is useless, IOW, wouldn't it be
simpler to only specify -fstack-usage to the arches that support it?

Amicalement,
