  When support for `-Zfunction-return` lands in Rust [1], this patch may
be used to enable RETHUNK support on top of the previous patch.

Link: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/116892 [1]
Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>

Note that this patch is not meant to be applied now, it is only here to
show what will be needed to drop the depends on from the previous patch.
