One POSSIBLE way to do this properly is to write a test that 1) Uses $CC, $CFLAGS, and related variables rather than hardcoding 'cc -O'. 2) Names any test files conftest.*, so configure cleans up automatically. 3) Doesn't execute any compiled programs. See the __FAST_MATH__ test for an example. However, I still think that we should not bother testing for this. Considering that the condition first occurred a couple of months ago and is already fixed, this isn't a big issue. Think about what would happen if we had to develop and maintain fixes for every buggy GCC compiler every released. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
