Hello everyone, I'm adding a message to the gcc-devel list because I'd appreciate some help figuring out if this is a bug. The issue was that I was missing a linking directive to a library (-lwinpr). The message does not seem to be reasonable in this context. I've also encountered it when supplying potentially nonsensical arguments (e.g. link in this dynamic library statically). Cheers, R0b0t1
