see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2007-06/msg00080.html "it's only supported for powerpc*-linux and x86*-linux" "doesn't really work for x86*-linux unitl ... fixed a bunch of back-end/middle-end bugs in 4.3" still unsure if it's worth enabling it in 4.2. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
