Anonymous strings are hardly a rare occurance.  Plus, doing it on a case
by cases invites breakage from people who don't/can't test the SPLs that
are affected, when they add code that moves a certain file from being
not-problematic to problematic.

If and when they fix it, and the updated toolchains are in sufficiently
wide use that we can stop supporting the old ones (at least for small
SPL targets), we can revisit the decision.
