Hi JonY,

Sorry for the delay. Please find updated patch as per Gerald and you suggestion.

Is this ok for wwwdocs once [1] is committed in GCC 8 cycle?

[1] https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2017-02/msg01153.html

Best regards,

Thomas

+     <li>GCC on Microsoft Windows can now be configured via
+       <code>--enable-mingw-wildcard</code> or
+       <code>--disable-mingw-wildcard</code> to force a specific behavior for
+       GCC itself with regards to supporting or not the wildcard character.

Here I would omit the "or not" which I believe does not work well
in English.

+       Prior versions of GCC would follow the configuration of MinGW runtime.

And here add "the" before "MinGW".

This looks fine to me with these two minor changes, thank you.

Gerald
