It works ok with the former option(A), but it doesn't with latter(B) with my
FreeBSD box.
(A) cc -c vers.c
(B) cc -c -O2 -frename-registers -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall
-Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual -fformat-extensions -std=c99 -g -nostdinc
-I- -I. -I/usr/src/sys -I/usr/src/sys/contrib/dev/acpica
-I/usr/src/sys/contrib/altq -I/usr/src/sys/contrib/ipfilter
-I/usr/src/sys/contrib/pf -I/usr/src/sys/contrib/dev/ath
-I/usr/src/sys/contrib/dev/ath/freebsd -I/usr/src/sys/contrib/ngatm
-I/usr/src/sys/dev/twa -D_KERNEL -include opt_global.h -fno-common
-finline-limit=8000 --param inline-unit-growth=100 --param
large-function-growth=1000 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -mcmodel=kernel
-mno-red-zone -mfpmath=387 -mno-sse -mno-sse2 -mno-mmx -mno-3dnow
-msoft-float -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -ffreestanding -Werror vers.c
IMHO, the simplest solution is duplicate writing ${VERSION} like this,
but this would let kernel be 20-30bytes bigger.
-------------------------------
cat << EOF > vers.c
$COPYRIGHT
char sccs[] = "@(#)${VERSION} #${v}: ${t}";
char version[] = "${VERSION} #${v}: ${t}\\n [EMAIL PROTECTED]:${d}\\n";
char ostype[] = "${TYPE}";
char osrelease[] = "${RELEASE}";
int osreldate = ${RELDATE};
char kern_ident[] = "${i}";
EOF
-------------------------------
