This appears technically sensible. As you say, it does not impose on the user's options any more stridently than does adding -g -O2 for GCC. The checks would only run if the compiler did not appear to work with no options, so they would not slow `configure' in most cases. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
