make you unable to boot MacOS.

Did that really never get fixed? Hm... Anyway, it only happens to some
kernels. Try adding or removing random devices and options to your
kernel config and you might end up with a kernel that it can strip.

The fact that it's not in GENERIC probably means no one has tried it.

It might need big-endian fixes...
