While being compatible with the GNU tools is nice, if they are planning on dropping support for no-div soonish then we probably shouldn't add support for it. IMO, Zmmul should be a separate patch and presumably (at the moment) be gated by `-menable-experimental-extensions`.

Thanks for the news and I think having experimental-zmmul a separate patch is a good idea. But which implementation of `no-div` is better, the one that chooses extension between M and zmmul or the one that simply being an attribute like Diff 3, or are there any other suggestions?
