I was thinking as actual code, so we can make modifications where we need to / want to as well. But your idea is much less contentious :-) > Note the version 1.5.1 is 8 years old, what legacy system do you use that > has such > an old version? CentOS 7. Some of those systems cannot run CentOS 8. And CentOS 8 will reach EoL in less than two months, and CentOS Stream is not an option at all (and even if it were, it cannot work on many of the machines). Everything else on CentOS 7 is supported by GCC (it is the oldest supported for pretty much everything, but still). It would be bad for DejaGnu to be the limiting factor :-/ Segher
