Aha. Looks like it's of more use than theoretical pain; sounds like this should (effectively) be the default for *non-releases* when cross-compiling, with the possibility to override per-target. Agreement? Anyone against? 1/2 :) It should be per-target because there *may* be port-specific constructs warned about by buggy previous-but-not-ancient gcc-versions, where working around the warnings would cause unwanted obfuscation. (IIRC gdb does something like this.) Is that the reason it's not the default, that there are such constructs in the non-port-specific parts? But then that would have already been noticed through use of the config-list.mk, no? brgds, H-P
