I'd go ahead and install. We're on a clear path to kill dbx/stabs and if this breaks those ports, better to do so as early as possible to give folks a chance to fix 'em. I can't really help on the testing side for this -- my tester doesn't try to test djgpp, mingw or cygwin. jeff ps. I'd hazard a guess that lynx.h is for the old lynxos system from the 90s. I'd be amazed if it's still used in any way.

I see. Mind the patch doesn't change anything (unless my analysis was flawed). It merely reduces the grep hit for DBX_DEBUGGING_INFO and PREFERRED_DEBUGGING_TYPE ;) My immediate goal is to get rid of PREFERRED_DEBUGGING_TYPE (it will always be DWARF_DEBUGGING_INFO) and _default_ all ports to DWARF so my original goal of being able to deprecate STABS for GCC 12 will work out (which would be sth odd if some port still defaults to it). I've pushed this change now. Richard.
