This will be going in on the next round.
I doubt it should. I don't understand why it should be necessary on GNU/Linux (I'm pretty sure it wasn't when I was running Debian on SPARC), and it isn't necessary on Solaris. Could you explain? Worse than that, CFLAGS are not necessarily appropriate for the assembler: for instance, my Solaris installation uses Sun `as' with gcc, and that won't accept `-mcpu'. Actually, now I think about it, gas won't either, and it wouldn't make sense -- the compiler back end deals with instruction sets and scheduling. > I wonder if http://bugs.darcs.net/issue432 is helped by this at all. > Any comments, Dave? I can't think so. As I said, I'm pretty sure it's something fairly trivial, and I'll try to find time to debug it sometime if no-one can give me help with the test and the test framework. _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
