I don't understand what you mean by this. > I'm fine with "Jens' distribution have a non-standard switch", but I > would prefer a "Toolchain community favors that knob to be used". In Lancaster, we considered having both a "give me PP" option *and* a "give me XS" option and the group decided it was less confusing to have just one. Here's how I would do it: (a) if the PP option is there, give them PP (b) if the PP option is missing/false, check if there is a compiler (c) if there is a compiler, give them XS or give them death (d) if there isn't a compiler, give them PP If for (c) that means running tests under some "XS-only" flag of your own, that's fine with me.
