I don't want to change configure.in that short before release. We don't know what other combinations of linkers/OS/compilers do if we enable -N. And even with a check for that specific compiler it's risky. Maybe in one of the README.platform files. That's also Linux? There is already a section about "Other Information" in README.linux so we could add it there. And think about a good detection in configure.in for after the release. Bye, Henning
