Indeed, makes all the sense in the world now.
But since I got your attention, I'll plug a follow-up question about the
build-system: what's the reason for setting BUILD_WITH_NO_UNDEFINED only
for cygwin and win32?
I'm currently patching the packages to always use it (reasons outlined
here[0]) and haven't run into any problems, but maybe I'm overlooking
something obvious again.
If not, would you accept a patch to turn it into a configure-time
option? (besides keeping it on for cygwin and win32, of course)
Cheers
