But we check for all of the bits we do wrap, no? It seems to me that --disable-posix is about decreasing size, not about enabling Guile to build on more systems. And in fact can you think of any systems in the last 10 years for which --disable-posix would allow you to do something interesting? > For instance, when we port Guile to run on the bare metal, we’ll be > happy that ‘--disable-posix --disable-networking --disable-threads’ > nicely delimits the contour of what we need, won’t we? This is crazy :) We can't anticipate the needs of any such port, so it's pointless to maintain options that probably don't work. Regards, Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
