When building NSS on m-c for MSVC, a lot of warning is outputted. 3:22.55 cl : Command line warning D9002 : ignoring unknown option '-mpclmul' 3:22.55 cl : Command line warning D9002 : ignoring unknown option '-maes' This is added by bug 868948. This is gcc build flags and it is unnecessary on MSVC build
They are necessary for clang-cl builds. Since MSVC happily ignores them I didn't see a reason to remove them there. If the warnings are too much we might be able to do something about it.
Priority: -- → P3
IMO, feeding known-incorrect compiler flags to a compiler isn't something you should be doing. If MSVC stops "happily ignoring them" then you're in trouble. The warnings are serious enough to draw attention, at the very least, or I wouldn't be here after updating my lib ;)
