No, there won't be a binary because the first gcc invocation with CC_FLAGS_FTRACE will error out. The alternatives are a makefile-warning followed by a gcc-error or just a makefile-error. The makefile warning or error should hint at the causing config option, that's the key point. Beyond that I don't have any preference. Torsten
