------- Comment #6 from jvdelisle at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-10-07 18:43 ------- I have tested this on x86-64-linux. It works here as well. After reading the man page myself, I think this is the answer and I would commit it as obvious.
The only question is what do other platforms do? AIX hp etc -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33683
