JonY: what about the attached patch to document the change of behavior of GCC on Windows depending on the configure option used?
+<h2 id="mingw">MinGW issues</h2> + +<p>GCC on Microsoft Windows can now be configured via +<code>--enable-mingw-wildcard</code> or <code>--disable-mingw-wildcard</code> +to force a specific behavior for GCC itself with regards to supporting or +not the wildcard character. Prior versions of GCC would follow the Perhaps put "(or not)" in parentheses? +configuration of MinGW runtime. This behavior can still be obtained by not +using the above options or by using +<code>--enable-mingw-wildcard=platform</code>.</p> Is this really going to be a question for the Porting Guide, or more something you'd put into the release notes (aka changes.html)? I am thinking more the latter. This patch is approved for gcc-8/changes.html once GCC 7 has branched and gcc-8/changes.html be put in place (though I may be doing that pro- actively later today ;-).
