This has been raised before:

I think it's generally a good idea. You wouldn't want to "enforce" this
- you would set it as an overridable default setting.

I think the disadvantages are: compilation speed, I think there is no
official way to do this so you would have to hack the gcc source a bit,
and deviation from upstream / other distros.
