Well, pld doesn't care whether the memory being accessed is available
or not - it doesn't fault if the memory isn't mapped or is protected.

So, I think what the GCC people have just said is "we've removed the
feature you were using to allow you to use this instruction."

Great, let's use anything up to and including gcc 4.2.x until the GCC
people return to planet earth.
