Dear List,
Jonathan Wakely wants me to send a patch (or more than one).
>Send a patch. Will do, after some further digging and sanity-testing, along the lines I have already indicated. Did you expect it already? I have to consider that not all builds of GCC are on UN*X-type boxes. The existing machinery for submitting test results is rather non-portable: I don't want to do anything to make it worse.
>This isn't GCC's problem. No it (was) mine - but it was a problem with GCC. I'm considering how GCC can be modified to help, so it doesn't become somebody else's problem.
Most of the difficulty is not best dealt with in GCC, but I think some of it is.
>Send a patch I've already sent a suggestion to O'Reilly fpr the next edition of "Linux in a Nutshell". I'm thinking what can be done by way of producing a one-stop shop for nasty aliases and homonyms (libxml=gnome-xml and all the others) to go in the LDP. Any other bright ideas? Or can someone point me to where it has all been done before?
