I totally agree, but it does not justify simply removing the offending flag as if it had never existed. It does have an impact on the binaries, some modules need it, other don't, but we don't know which ones for sure. That's my understanding, I could be wrong.<BR>

I have made a concrete proposal:<BR>
<BR>
<OL TYPE=1>
<LI TYPE=1 VALUE=1>It preserves backward compatibility so previous versions are unaffected when configured with the latest util-macros
<LI TYPE=1 VALUE=2>It provides a low risk approach which I believe will be supported by reviewers.
<LI TYPE=1 VALUE=3>It gets you where you want to be, but perhaps not in "one go"
</OL>
I'd like to hear how this proposal will not provide the end result you are looking for. There must be a misunderstand somewhere, so we have to keep working hard to find it.<BR>
