  Nope.  I'm just reporting second-hand what I heard from someone who I trust
to know what they're talking about, who mentioned it briefly without providing
examples and I didn't ask.  And I didn't even report it correctly; he didn't
say "linux distros", he just said "some systems".

  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2009-10/msg00483.html

  Reading it again, by "some", he could even just have meant "cygwin".  Dunno,
will ask.

    cheers,
      DaveK
