Please leave that for a release or two so that we can adapt Linux kernel has things like M16_CFLAGS := $(call cc-option, -m16, $(CODE16GCC_CFLAGS)) It adds -m16 only if it exits. Why can't KDE do something like this? There are many ways to achieve it and it works with all compilers. > buildsystems. By default, GCC should be psABI compliant. -Bsymbolic isn't psABI compliant since the resulting shared library doesn't work with normal executable. I don't believe -fsymbolic should be the default, just like that -Bsymbolic shouldn't be the default for linker either.
