This WILL have regressions in ports. And I'm afraid that some of them could pass build but fail at run-time. We need to check all ports that play with CFLAGS then. While this probably isn't a bad idea, at the present time it'll probably better to add a knob, off by default, that disables unwanted behaviour, and postpone work on actual switch to post-5.6. Yes, I'm volunteering to take part in that process post-5.6. -- WBR, Vadim Zhukov
