I guess you're right and I'm probably using the wrong word - English is not my first language. ;-)

But I meant that they could have made the same choice to be compatible (by fixing the issue
in their compiler and making their GCC-compatible ABI output actually compatible with GCC;
they already have other, clang-only, GCC-incompatible ABIs in there, so why not make the
GCC-compatible one actually compatible with GCC ?), but they didn't.

Anyhow I completely agree with you that life is too short and we spent already way too much
time discussing this.  It's fixed and let's move on. :-)

Thanks
