Message-ID: <20030523193958.GA12758@doctormoo> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.4i From: Nathanael Nerode X-SW-Source: 2003-05/txt/msg02127.txt.bz2 I was going through old bugs and I found one (#4284) about filenames which aren't unique within 14 characters. Are we still trying to preserve 14-character/8.3 uniqueness for building GCC (at least for C; C++ and Java libraries have other standards)? I was under the impression that we were, but I couldn't find it documented anywhere. If we are, can we document it? If we aren't, can we document it and close the bug? --Nathanael
