I ask again: would such patches be accepted? (Mike stated he would |
| 9 |
remove stubs once GCC 4.1 is stable -- thanks -- so users wouldn't run |
| 10 |
into problems often regardless.) |

Ah yes, I see some that definitely apply to USE=vanilla builds. I'll see |
| 16 |
if there's anything I can understand. :) |

No, being able to use vanilla GCC as Gentoo's system compiler would be a |
| 24 |
nice addition, and if it's agreed as a good idea I don't mind helping |
| 25 |
out with getting it working, but I can live without it. |

Being able to check software for unofficial compiler flags is for some |
| 30 |
cases a must. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I repeat: two separate issues. They keep getting mixed up here. |

The error is very clear: |
| 43 |
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fno-stack-protector" |
| 44 |
|

Maybe I have a little bit more confidence in people, sorry if that's |
| 46 |
misplaced. :) |
