The users don't care. It just makes us think that the software is not ready for use. If we had wanted that, there is a well-known company that can provide software of that form. All one needs to do is remove the warning message from gdb. It would be extra-special-nice if this could be done *before* 4.9 is released. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
