-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Ralf Wildenhues on 3/25/2008 3:48 PM: | | Back then I said that this was unacceptable, for example for | CPPFLAGS='-Dstring=" some string with significant whitespace"' | | and other, possibly user-defined precious variables for which leading | and trailing whitespace may be significant. | | My thinking is not quite so clear-cut any more, although I still feel | that GCC build is being a bit lax.

The user is less likely to intentionally use strings with significant whitespace, but a warning will alert them to that. And as I've been bitten by the same bug (not only gcc, but building cygwin from source), I am very inclined to approve this. (I only worry that the cygwin/gcc source tree will stay stuck on 2.59 for quite some time to come). | 2008-03-25 Ralf Wildenhues <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | Warn, not fail on whitespace-only precious variable differences. Please apply. | + ac_old_val_w=`echo x $ac_old_val` Slick way to use the shell to collapse spaces! - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
