I assume you mean how to determine if it is used on a platform?  That's
a good question.  Either you specify system by system how to use it, or
you have to some how divine it's applicability.  What _I_ would do is see
if the .o format is ELF ; if so, then I would use it.  I don't _know_
that every System V ELF based system allows it, but it seems likely.
Perhaps if you use this to determine the default, and then allow a hint
file mechanism to 'turn it off' on systems where it isn't appropriate?
