Well, but the non-existent SPH should read as zero anyway.
Or are there any devices where this is not true?

SPH doesn't have to be zero with -mtiny-stack.  On a device with 512
bytes of SRAM (0x60 ... 0x25f), SP could be initialized as 0x25f,
and -mtiny-stack can still be used as long as the stack never grows
below 0x200 (96 bytes of stack - reasonable for many applications).
