Ingo is assuming a best-case scenario here. Assumptions are the mother of all fuckups. This discussion does not address issues which arise when: - You compile code with different compilers (say, OCaml, tcc, Intel Compiler, or whatever) - What happens when you run existing commercial applications which have not been compiled using GCC. - What happens when you mix GCC compiled code with other code (e.g. a commercial Motif library). - What happens when you link libraries compiled with older GCC versions? - And so on and so forth. It can be fun to dive into a low-level details discussion. But unless you solved the higher level issues, the whole discussion is just a waste of time. And these higher level issues won't be fixed unless people start to properly address worst-case behaviour, like any sensible engineer would do. > i don't have any Fedora but i think i know roughly what you're doing, > if some of the stuff below wouldn't work, let me know. You've tried to educate these people before. You're wasting your time and talent. I think you should ask for a handsome payment when these people want to enjoy the privilege of being properly educated by someone who knows what he's talking about.
