This doesn't make it right. Ok, while we are on the topic : could somebody explain me why we can't get gcc to do that for us ? What is preventing adding a gcc command line flag to do exactly that ? It's not like rocket science (simple test) and would avoid to have tediously to go through all source code, past, present and *future* to make those changes. Bah, maybe it's too straightforward...
