(The patch was <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-09/msg00934.html>.)
This patch affects:
alpha*-*-*vms*
arm-semi-aof
hppa1.1-*-osf*
hppa1.1-*-bsd*, i370-*-opened*
i[[3456789]]86-*-mingw32*
*-*-cygwin*
i[[3456789]]86-moss-msdos
i[[3456789]]86-*-moss*
i[[3456789]]86-*-pe
powerpc-*-eabi
powerpcle-*-eabi*
powerpc-*-rtems*
QNX and AVR targets have indicated also that they don't want fixincludes.
For these targets, this patch restores the behavior of fixincludes
builds before it was moved to toplevel.
Does the patch really need to be signed off by all of these maintainers?
Unless since fixincludes moved to toplevel one of these targets added
fixincludes rules, which is unlikely, there will be no change in
functionality , except for shorter build times, and perhaps the
difference between a currently broken build and a working build.
