Ok, so I was right in my gut(son)[1] feeling that -mauto-it was a predecessor of -mimplicit-it -- and actually only in the first iteration(s) of the patch that would have introduced it. > I am not sure if '-mauto-it' exists in the wild.

I've gone through the binutils git tree, and -mauto-it is mentioned only in a patch that fixes the gas /docs/ which erroneously mentioned -mauto-it where it should have mentioned -mimplicit-it. Hence, I think we should not test for -mauto-it at all, and not mention it even. Stefan, can you resubmit without the -mauto-it part, and renaming AFLAGS_AUTOIT into AFLAGS_IMPLICIT_IT? > hth, > Bill Pringlemeir. Amicalement, -- Albert.
