You'll need it in 4.3.
In which case, I'd rather not add this kind of ugly make logic. Although I'm not sure if we have anyone building with really old GCC versions anymore, or even if we have a sanity check that says "FATAL: Please don;t build with older GCC versions than 4.3" :^( I was just thinking how to handle new GCC options in Makefiles, didn't investigate GCC versions. -kto > > Andrew.
