Frontier EVM does not support state overrides for eth_call ?

Question

I would like to check if Frontier supports state overrides for eth_call. It seems it is not.

As far as I know, Moonbeam has supported this last year since v0.31. However, for Frontier EVM, whenever we call eth_call with state overrides, we receive exception ProviderError: unknown field gasLimit
State overrides will be useful when simulating transactions that include multiple signatures or voting mechanisms.

  state_overrides: Option<BTreeMap<H160, CallStateOverride>>,

Thanks to the efforts of the Moonbeam team. I think the Frontier node also supports this. See the link I pasted.
