The extra linker flags are neither necessary, nor appropriate. Two-level namespace is the one true way, especially for projects that don't dynamically load code (and even those should be updated to use two-level namespace correctly).
What cpp-precomp errors did you see? My build log shows no errors where it have to revert to the non-precomp cpp. Adding these flags should not be a knee-jerk response when software doesn't compile. And in this case, nmh *does* compile cleanly on 10.1.3. What problem are these patches solving?
