Hmm ... so what should I do with mysql? Since approximately forever, upstream has recommended using -fno-exceptions (and also -felide-constructors -fno-rtti) in CXXFLAGS. I now realize that it's a bit silly to do that when the plain-C files (of which there are plenty) are being built with -fexceptions because of Fedora's standard RPM_OPT_FLAGS. I also note that the recommendation to do that seems to have disappeared from their manual as of mysql 5.5 ... although their own RPM specfile is still doing it. Seems like I should either drop the nonstandard CXXFLAGS, or hack CFLAGS to remove -fexceptions. regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
