Thanks, that would explain it. That was my original point: it would be nice if something like that, perhaps in a more concise form, to be recorded in the commit log, so dumbasses like me would not annoy you by their stupid followup mails. > >"yes" and "any" do different things, it's not the matter of style.

Unfortunately, you're correct: these little things and nuances are poorly documented. I'll try to cook up a patch that talks about USE_GCC proper usage, unless you (or anyone else) beats me on that. ;-) Thanks, ./danfe
