If you are changing the component, would not a better choice be "driver" than "c"? I agree the patch does not touch the preprocessor code, but from a user point of view it is a preprocessor issue. The 4.2.2 manuals say in section 3.11 that "The preprocessor's direct interface is undocumented and subject to change, so whenever possible you should avoid using -Wp and let the driver handle the options instead." A user could reasonably (but wrongly) assume that the driver passes options like -I to the preprocessor. If you are changing the component, then can you change the severity to something more suitable than "enhancment" at the same time? Whilst I am all in favour of emitting warnings about obsolete features, until there is a working replacement for -I- it is a bug to complain that it is deprecated. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19541
