Probably because its an obsolete keyword.
The keyword 'far' was introduced to access memory locations outside memory boundary 640KB, defined by DOS like OS's. Since, Linux does not imply this boundary, gcc does not have to support it either, it's obsolete.
it doesn't under dos either btwOriginally posted by Devil_Panther

as has been mentioned, far is an archaic construct used by archaic compilers under archaic platforms.
hello, internet!
