Thanks - this is what I committed. Ramana 2012-03-15 Ramana Radhakrishnan <ramana.radhakrish...@linaro.org> * config.gcc (target_type_format_char): New. Document it. Set it for arm*-*-* . * configure.ac (gnu_unique_option): Use target_type_format_char in test. Comment rationale. * configure: Regenerate . Ramana > > Paolo
