11455 - -mno-486 added to PLATFORM_FLAGS

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(NSPR :: NSPR, defect, P3)

Description

[justin hugh daly]

why was this added? the cvs comment reads:

----------------------------
revision 3.12
date: 1999/04/21 21:37:37;  author: dmose%mozilla.org;  state: Exp;  lines: +1
-1
updating to license version 1.1 in boilerplate comments
----------------------------

but the change inclueds:

----------------------------
diff -r3.11 Linux.mk
3c3
< # Version 1.0 (the "NPL"); you may not use this file except in
---
> # Version 1.1 (the "NPL"); you may not use this file except in
85c85
< PLATFORM_FLAGS                += -mno-486 -Di386
---
> PLATFORM_FLAGS                += -Di386
----------------------------

this breaks my compile with: "cc1: Invalid option `no-486'". works fine when i
change it back.

i'm not sure why this is affecting me now though. the date on the change says
april, and it's august now. perhaps it was when i updated gcc -- i'm using gcc
v2.95.

none of the other code seems to use this option, and even though the
documentation i have for gcc says it's a valid command line option.

The "-mno-486" option isn't supported in gcc v2.95. This options appears to be
no longer relevant.

The bug (and fix) also reported by Chris Seawood <[e-mail]>.

The option is now deleted from nsprpub/config/Linux.mk
