Re: C++ PATCH: strcmp and strncmp usage cleanup (Re: C++ PATCH to fix thinko)

I'm afraid this is not right.  Sometimes, we want to match just a
prefix of a given string; other times, we really want to match full
strings.  We use strncmp for the former, and strcmp for the latter.
With your patch, it seems to me that we'd accept -fno-new-abi-snafu as
a synonym for -fno-new-abi.
