Another obvious fix would be to reinstate the removed -w (as it remains on other tests passing -fprefetch-loop-arrays). A fix I now don't have to commit, so thanks! A much less obvious but IMHO also valid fix, would be to remove the warning (but then for all users), as the option is not documented to emit a warning and it appears there are no tests for the warning. The documentation says "If supported by the target machine, generate instructions to prefetch memory" with no further description on specifics of what happens when it's not supported. But, such a change can always have non-obvious fallout. brgds, H-P
