Right, as intended. > So, the AIX makefile fragments config/mh-ppc-aix and config/mt-ppc-aix > could not just do > > ADAFLAGS += -mminimal-toc > ADAFLAGS_FOR_TARGET += -mminimal-toc But this approach is wrong to start with, so you cannot use this argument based on a wrong approach to start with, otherwise you will end up patching and covering work arounds over work arounds. The Ada Makefile already takes into account $(X_ADAFLAGS) and $(T_ADAFLAGS) It sounds like T_ADAFLAGS would probably be appropriate to solve the AIX specific issue. Although I would need to see the entire issue we're trying to solve under AIX, since it's not clear at all to me that forcing -mminimal-toc systematically is a good idea to start with. Could you point to a detailed discussion on the AIX issue ? Arno
