Once again, you failed to provide an actual log of what you're describing, so I'm going to go on a limb and guess at what you're actually trying to describe. curl's build system doesn't add --tag=CC directives to the gcc command line. It does, however, use libtool, and libtool uses the --tag=CC directive to control its operation. libtool operates as a wrapper around the compiler in use (whether gcc or cc or any other), and the --tag option (as well as --mode) informs libtool of the type of compile that's happening. You can find out more about libtool and its role in the build by reading the extensive libtool documentation (or http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/libtool.html if you don't already have it installed). >>> Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
