IIRC Homebrew enables that construct but the system linker ignores it completely; this means instead of a compile failure you may get runtime failures. (And if you don't get runtime failures then perhaps these attributes were not needed in the first place.) The system linker is the issue here; while MacPorts can build its own copy of that (often with bugfixes from later OS X releases), as yet nobody has implemented the feature in question in OS X ld at all. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
