I wasn't going to comment again on this, since it's ape's tools, not the plan9 versions. I was obviously mistaken in assuming that you suggested changing plan9's version. I still personally feel that for plan9 to mean something, additional options and tools should be considered on their own merits and because they fit the plan9 philosophy, not because some random tool uses them and ignores them. From what's been described here autoconf should not have the expectation that it gets -i, just to ignore it. For ape that's fine, but from what I've had rejected I believe the core of plan9 is held to a higher standard. > Dmitry Jason Catena
