gcc: provide an option to enable mudflap support
PATCH 1/1 gcc: provide an option to enable mudflap support
The mudflap library is only useful if one uses the -fmudflap gcc option, to do more checks on pointers/arrays, which is typically not the case. Until now, it was always being built. This commit disables it by default to save a little bit of build time, and provides an option to enable it when needed.

Nobody used it i think because libmudfap*.so* isn't copied to the target and it won't work without it.
V2 incoming? ;)
Regards.
