Comment:
{{{
Support for Intel Memory Protection Extensions (MPX) is now pretty much
dead on Linux.
As a follow-up to the article in April of GCC looking to remove MPX
support from their compiler with Intel no longer maintaining that portion
of the code and MPX being deprecated already, today the commit went in
deleting all of the MPX support in GCC.
