Trunk: > ./xgcc -B. -c t.c -Wno-foo > ./xgcc -B. -c t.c -Wfoo xgcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-Wfoo' that's probably deliberate. So the bug is that we check for -Wno-narrowing instead of -Wnarrowing. Now, the question is why we don't consistently error in 4.3 ... I see > gcc-4.3 -c -Wno-narrowing t.c -DHAVE_ARG cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-narrowing" with FSF GCC 4.3.6. So, are you sure this isn't behavior caused by vendor patches? (openSUSE GCC 4.3 also works) Still the behavior of warning for -Wno- changed appearantly. Joseph?
