I third this suggestion. I think having the option is very useful, but I still think hybrid should be the default. There are lots of reasons LTO isn't going to work for many users for a while (like, for example, a bug in LTO), and having hybrid object files gives them an easy way to succeed. As with any argument about defaults, it depends on what you think is the "typical" use case. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
