Damn, sorry for the atrocious formatting of the last email. I'll just be sure to trust the autoformatting next time instead of second guessing it.
Also, I neglected to mention the patch is just a simple diff that can be applied by: $ patch -p1 < /path/to/compiler_version.patch (needs -p1 since it was generated by hg and adds someting to the path inside) On Sun, Jul 24, 2011 at 4:38 PM, austin seipp <[email protected]> wrote: > The compiler has never had a version flag, so attached is a patch that > adds some support for build/compiler versions.
