OK well, maybe the above patch is partly OBE because c++ is now required, but I guess other people might argue similarly for other languages. I personally don't think that's such a good idea, and reconfiguring gcc is needed frequently anyway, and as we can see in this discussion, this does have unwanted side effects. This specific patch is "OK", but if we end up finding out that more of such hacks are needed, then we'll have to revisit the whole issue and find another solution. Same thing if we find out that your patch is causing unexpected side effects, we'll have to revert the patch. Arno
