I used to do that myself, but when we got `make check', I started to use it, and it would not run tests with `-fPIC'. Perhaps a nice addition to egcs's makefiles would be a full-check, that would test all multilibs with and without -fPIC, if -fPIC makes a difference. I just don't know how to test whether -fPIC makes a difference in a portable way, is there any way? > make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="--tool_opts -fPIC old-deja.exp=eh*" Done, all tests passed on i586-pc-linux-gnu, with egcs-980214, binutils-2.8.1.0.18, out-of-the-box RedHat 5.0. -- Alexandre Oliva mailto:oliva@dcc.unicamp.br mailto:aoliva@acm.org http://www.dcc.unicamp.br/~oliva Universidade Estadual de Campinas, SP, Brasil
