Versions of gcc that take advantage of this are subtly wrong as a result. Given that Apple does not bother to complain about options it does not implement, it's considered better to error out than to silently produce possible runtime bugs. Other providers of gcc apparently feel that subtle, silent runtime errors are acceptable.<br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates</div><div><a href="mailto:allbery.b@gmail.com" target="_blank">allbery.b@gmail.com</a> <a href="mailto:ballbery@sinenomine.net" target="_blank">ballbery@sinenomine.net</a></div><div>unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad <a href="http://sinenomine.net" target="_blank">http://sinenomine.net</a></div></div></div>
