This is a request to have -fno-ident added to ALLOUD_FLAGS in the setup-allowed-flags() function in the flag-o-matic eclass. This flag simply tells GCC to not include it's version information in the binaries it creates. The reason I ask this is because when building glibc this flag gets stripped and GCC version information gets added to all glibc binaries and objects. Some of these glibc objects get statically linked to anything linking to glibc and thus end up adding the GCC version information to all binaries statically linked to these objects (which is almost everything). The flag itself is harmless and I have been using it in my flag-o-matic for over a year.
added to cvs, thanks for the report
