Huh? What do you assume users think that CFLAGS=-msse does? |
| 18 |
I know some people get confused by the mmx/sse/whatever use flags, but |
| 19 |
I've never seen anybody assuming that CFLAGS determine if a patch |
| 20 |
should be applied/configure switch enabled. |
| 21 |
(I'm not arguing about the proposal itself here, just this argument is |
| 22 |
bullshit) |

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be |

Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better. |
