I think that what Earnie is saying is that he essentially made -mno-win32 the *default* and set up a -mwin32 for cases where you really want it. This isn't, IMO, a good plan for a general release of gcc but I can see why this would be attractive to people who compile a lot of UNIX stuff. It hides the Windows stuff from some packages that insist on "doing stuff" when they see the Windows defines and you don't have to modify any Makefiles to get that behavior. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
