------- Comment #2 from rob1weld at aol dot com 2007-06-14 08:26 ------- Agreed. After a 20 hour day the proximity of the word `-fwhole-program' to the attribute `externally_visible' while juggling three things at once did not work out so good.
Perhaps a compiler warning message could be created that when "-c" and "-fwhole-program" are used together without using "externally_visible" in the file the result is essentially an un-linkable object. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32329
