What would it do if a gcc-specific option is used for which the real compiler does not provide any option, even with a different name? If it would ignore it, things would break horribly (just think of -funsigned-char). If it would error out, are any options other than those already specified by POSIX (`man 1p c99`) available on all systems? (If not, no gcc-style frontend is necessary, because the options are already the same for all compilers intended to be usable as a (Unix-like-)system compiler.) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
