If any of these features (other than -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE) relies on spec rule handling of preprocessor flags then I'd like you to try reimplementing them another way. I'm going to hack 4.6 to work properly but I expect it to break again with 4.7. -- fonts, gcc-porting, it makes no sense how it makes no sense toolchain, wxwidgets but i'll take it free anytime @ gentoo.org EFFD 380E 047A 4B51 D2BD C64F 8AA8 8346 F9A4 0662
