* gcc.c (DEFAULT_SWITCH_TAKES_ARG): New macro, from SWITCH_TAKES_ARG.
(SWITCH_TAKES_ARG): Use it.
This change alows us to add support for the 'R' option in a way that
will minimize differences when it comes to merging a future FSF gcc
release into the NetBSD sources.
for kernel printf functions
- understand the db_printf %n,%r,%z format specifiers
- understand the kernel printf %: format specifier
- Be more permissive to %b arguments: accept any integer type, not only
unsigned ints.
a ustar-format archive. POSIX specifies that ustar-format archives have magic
strings consisting of "ustar<nul>", however our PAX accepts anything starting
with just the 5 "ustar" chars, and this and other version of GNU tar output
ustar archives with magic numbers of "ustar <nul>". Leave the output format
of this version of GNU tar the same, so that old versions of GNU tar can
use ustar files it outputs. (diff sent to GNU tar maintainer.)
long comparisons. As of this date, this change hasn't made it into
the development sources. We must consider this when it comes time
to integrate a newer gcc release.

* expmed.c (negate_rtx): Don't negate LONG_MIN if mode is wider
than HOST_WIDE_INT.
gcc now produces worse code for this test case than gcc 2.5.8 when
invoked with -O , but it will optimize as good as gcc 2.5.8 (i.e. all
comparisons vanish) when invoked with -O2 , thus I think it doesn't
matter. If anyone is interested in looking into this, the code in
expr.c, function expand_expr, case MINUS_EXPR, if-clause for if
(TREE_UNSIGNED (type) || TREE_OVERFLOW (negated)), will refuse to
convert the subtraction into an addition if there is an overflow in
the conversion or negation of the constant. If both host and target
machine are binary computers with 2-complement representation, the
overflow should not matter.
