around line 400. Since -W options are undocumented and pretty much unsupported, (unless you're a very special customer, like the OpenSolaris team) I would recommend that every -W option be commented with a reference to an open bugid either against the compiler (to fix a compiler bug), or against Solaris (to fix the source). Without specific bugids, nobody will know when the -W option is no longer necessary. --chris Beauregard, Daniel wrote: > We have some obscure build flags in our system that were added in the > past and have always "just worked".
