Thanks for explaining that. I suspect cc is still shipped for backwards compatibility with ancient software that assumes K&R cc. But in that case my suggestion still has merit. HP can ship GCC (and call it "gcc") without breaking the ancient software. This will help HP's users, because it will cause "configure" to do the right thing when building software. Mr. Preston, can you please make this suggestion internally within HP? You have more pull there than a random outsider would. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Bug-tar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-tar
