There are many reasons why this is a bad idea anyway. Oh, and how helpful of you to post that patch to gcc-patches@ too... NOT! > http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21247 I don't build Ada cross either, but AdaCore does, so you could ask them to help you with this problem. > Another one I haven't filed yet, is GCC-4.x not correctly propagating > CFLAGS/CFLAGS_FOR_{BUILD|HOST|TARGET} to newlib in one-tree builds (I am > still investigating).

And since you're not posting the patches you attach to the bugzilla PRs you open, you're not exactly helping to make things better either. Gr. Steven
