Your text speaks about this change being ok in a gcc version dependant way Your patch has no gcc version dependancy If you claim that all issues where solved, please show the issues happening in version v and no longer happening in w>v . Then it make sense to change the flags for version w Thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing more to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader. -- Plato
