Linus Torvalds ccaaaf6fe5 MPX requires recompiling applications, which requires compiler support. ... Unfortunately, GCC 9.1 is expected to be be released without support for MPX. This means that there was only a relatively small window where folks could have ever used MPX. It failed to gain wide adoption in the industry, and Linux was the only mainstream OS to ever support it widely. Support for the feature may also disappear on future processors.
