--- Comment #1 from David <gccbugzilla at limegreensocks dot com> --- On further reflection, perhaps the best solution is even simpler. It is my understanding that the "cc" clobber is redundant. Internally, the flags are clobbered whether you set this or not. And I can't see how this behavior can ever change now that it has been like this for so long. As a result, perhaps the solution is to just change the docs for the "cc" clobber to say that it is meaningless. Maybe something like: "cc" This clobber is only kept for historical reasons. It no longer has any effect on the generation of code.
