No it's not.

While personnaly I am very sceptical about this, this probably won't be
tested. Unless someone with too much spare time on his hands tries to
build a kernel with such options and gcc 3.1 and waits for it to
eventually freeze...

When it will be time (i.e. gcc working reliably on all supported
architectures). Definitely not 3.2, and anyways don't hold your breath,
there are more important things to work on...
