Oh. I had reports from ppc devs who said that gcc-4 didn't recognise that flag. I also heard that gcc-4 contains a re-written stack protector implementation with different semantics and that was why it didn't recognise the flag anymore. > every gcc in portage by default supports -fno-stack-protector So that includes gcc 4 then. Well that makes life easier. :-) I presume it's a gentoo patch to gcc-4 to add back in -fno-stack-protector? -- Duncan Coutts : Gentoo Developer (Haskell herd team lead) email : dcoutts at gentoo dot org -- [email protected] mailing list
