Right now -pthread is implemented entirely as a gcc spec as part of LIB_SPEC. I didn't have time to get very far so I'm not sure how much special-case argument handling is done in gcc currently. Would this kind of approach, to moving the "-pthread" handling out of a specfile and into args handling code, fly with the FSF people? --Mike --gatW/ieO32f1wygP Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/cdM6CczNhKRsh48RAr/SAKDZYL2tfGRhGciICuiun7ffFbnxoQCaA1ZV KmaCd8iaoPpXCPG8raJvn2Q= =gFo6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --gatW/ieO32f1wygP--
