My general point at the gcc summit was not one about changing the compiler, although that was the context in which I raised it. It was that we should have more consideration of the needs of our users, and less consideration of the needs of our developers. As far as I am concerned, the relevant question on this issue is whether anybody other than toolchain developers depends on the current behaviour. I believe the answer is no. Since the current behaviour has various drawbacks which are clearly evident in organizations which use NFS widely, and since moreover I believe that most non-gcc- developers do not exepect the current behaviour, I believe that we should change it.
