It showed up in v1.2.6 (it's alluded to in nesC's notes for that
release). The env target doesn't like options it doesn't know, so
specifying it for earlier releases would be a bad idea. It affects:
- mig (as it needs to know structure layout)
- XML structure layout output
- constant folding (but it's unlikely to have an actual effect, except
if you use an offsetof/sizeof result affected by this rule as a
generic component argument)
