But I have to say, even on re-reading and re-thinking, I think the statement is correct. For new code, it is better to use attributes. I don't think that says or implies that there is an attribute that means the same thing as -fno-toplevel-reorder. You've decided to follow a path that GCC does not support with attributes. That is your choice. There are other approaches you could use, that GCC does support directly, and for some reason they won't work for you. But fortunately there is a choice that works for you: the -fno-toplevel-reorder option. So it seems that all is well. Ian
