That's the point. And I'm working to having the same flags in the whole process.... I just wonder why nobody had compiling problems due to this behaviour.... >Not, if you were working as suggested above. I think the ideal behaviour is the possibility to control everything by the configure script. Which isn't possbily right now. At the moment you have to export variables and hope that this will do the trick and no hardcoded flags are in your way. I still get those annoying -g's in bootstrapping process even if I set CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS accordingly. Not every user who's trying a official release of egcs knows how to override configure setting and won't know how to use a debugger either. So it's just rational to have a --disable-debug option to configure which will save lots of space and time without much fiddlings... -- Servus, Daniel
