binutils supports it since
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=7a1d4c38938b172a8f3fdb38b01551306bd51d8d
and it is present in the last gplv2 binutils source

llvm seems to support it too since
https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/commit/09f38a0ef13bf542f7b3f1862d718e33e7de587b
i think it's in llvm >=3.5
