value, it forces GCC to not optimize above this level. For intance, GCC
made with "WANT_FORCE_OPTIMIZATION_DOWNGRADE=1" is a good setting for the
Alpha platform when building ports.
This is enabled by the undocumented option -fformat-extensions.
This option should be named better and/or give more control over
the extensions.
Fixed a message - don't warn about the field width when it's the
precision that has the wrong type. Didn't fix excessive checking
for the precision relative to the type - ANSI requires both to be
ints, but gcc permits the field width to be either int or unsigned
int.
non-i386, non-unix, and generatable files have been trimmed, but can easily
be added in later if needed.
gcc-2.7.2.1 will follow shortly, it's a very small delta to this and it's
handy to have both available for reference for such little cost.
The freebsd-specific changes will then be committed, and once the dust has
settled, the bmakefiles will be committed to use this code.
