This option enables the compiler option -mkernel-backchain if it
is available. If the option is available the compiler supports
the new stack layout which dramatically reduces the minimum stack
frame size. With an old compiler a non-leaf function needs a
minimum of 96 bytes on 31 bit and 160 bytes on 64 bit. With
-mkernel-backchain the minimum size drops to 16 byte on 31 bit
and 24 byte on 64 bit.
Say Y if you are unsure.
