Let's turn the question around: Do you think it would be a more maintainable approach to go with what Libtool uses in its compile/link tests: namely, compare stderr output contents without and with the flag to try out? This is a tricky question! The linker that MSVC calls actually manages to print its arguments; or it's cl doing that when calling the linker. Seems on stdout though, judging from your recent "MSVC status" mail on a libtool list. Does cl have a -Werror sort of flag that causes its exit status to be usable for setting other flags? Thanks, Ralf
