You may want to ping at Andrew and Kevin directly about this.

FYI, rethinking this, this is not such a good idea (removing the check,
I mean).  While the check itself is pretty bogus, the comment above
says:
        {                       /* bl foo, 
                                   to save fprs??? */

I know at least Darwin does this.

So maybe the new check should be additional instead of a replacement.
