Hi Howard, He can't use -Wc (commas in the argument cause confusion). However -Xcompiler is an option that would work. In my opinion, unless there is a system where this patch would cause issues, it is much more convenient for users to not have to bracket their compiler flags with -Xcompiler. Peter
