We can do so when we wish. > That's not what the GNU Coding Standards say: That part of the Coding Standards is about a different question, more specific. Namely, about whether to use GNU extensions (to C, for instance) in the code of GNU packages. My previous message addressed a related but different question: whether to make it a goal to support compiling Emacs with a compiler other than GCC. These two questions are in the same area, indeed they overlap, However, they are not the same question. There is no conflict between what I wrote recently about one, and what the Coding Standards say about the other. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
