And I do call it an optimization, simply because it makes stuff run faster. That's what an optimization does. The fact that gcc by default now uses -O1 or -O2 (I think -O1) doesn't really mean that -O1 isn't an optimization -- any level (other than -O0) is an optimization. All the levels are supposed to make your program run faster. The fact that *SUPPORT* for --hash-style is going to become standard doesn't really affect anything, either, because the standard hash-style (as far as I know) is *not* going to change to gnu. You will have to give ld an option to make it use the gnu hash style. Therefore, when linking a particular library or binary, it will always be an option to use it or not. (Unless you use a gcc whose specs file turns it on for you by default. Even then, you still need to provide the option, it's just that the gcc driver program does it for you.)
