The failure appears harmless, but I'm not sure. There is another non-portable feature in that exact same test. I sent a patch for it a few weeks ago, if someone would like to review that at the same time. http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-04/msg02262.html --- forward ---- Cygwin is not completing the "linker read-only and read-write section mixing" configure test. It aborts with: conftest1.s: Assembler messages: conftest1.s:1: Warning: rest of line ignored; first ignored character is `"' It seems that Cygwin's "as" doesn't like double-quotes surrounding it's section names. This in itself may or may not be a bug, but it that is not what this particular conftest is testing. Regardless, from what I can gather from the gas docs not having the quotes should be OK on all targets. ---- end ---- Kelley Cook
