--- Comment #3 from Sam James <sam at gentoo dot org> --- (In reply to Andrew Pinski from comment #1) > No. The whole reason why there is an option is because it is optional. A fair amount of future-new-defaults start off as optional and eventually become it. This isn't a particularly strong reason to reject it. The alternative would be that there was.. never a configure option? And one day it just flipped without any chance of changing it? I think this would probably benefit from more discussion. As meowray noted, this has been set by every major Linux distro for quite some time. It would make sense to re-evaluate GCC's defaults in that context and whether the reasons for them still make sense.
