Yeah, I think I have seen similar behavior before, but it has been long enough that I no longer remember the compiler in use. > I believe I can work around the error with an "export _C89_CCMODE=1", > but I thought I'd send the patch since this is the only occurrence of > the problem, and the argument order is inconsistent with other linker > commands in the file. I don't think working around it makes sense. That would fix your case, but nobody else's (though given how long it has been that way without complaints, I suspect any other compilers this picky may have died off). > Do you want me to resend the patch and reference the IBM documentation > in the message? I don't think you need to. More interesting than documentation is the real-world breakage you experienced and the analysis of the situation. I'd be fine taking the patch as-is, or if changing anything, mentioning the failure mode in the commit message. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
