Yes, in Dutch we would call this "papier is geduldig"

Use grep - it helps !

% grep freestanding *.c
c-decl.c:  else if (!strcmp (p, "-fhosted") || !strcmp (p,
"-fno-freestanding"))
c-decl.c:  else if (!strcmp (p, "-ffreestanding") || !strcmp (p,
"-fno-hosted"))
c-decl.c:      /* We set this to 2 here, but 1 in -Wmain, so
-ffreestanding can turn
toplev.c:  { "-ffreestanding",
toplev.c:  { "-fno-freestanding", "" },

[ Ah, so it *has* them ]

% grep freestanding *.h
c-tree.h:/* Nonzero means environment is hosted (i.e., not freestanding)
*/
% view c-tree.h
[ ... ]
/* Nonzero means environment is hosted (i.e., not freestanding) */

extern int flag_hosted;
[ ... ]
% grep flag_hosted *.c
c-decl.c:int flag_hosted = 1;
c-decl.c:      flag_hosted = 1;
c-decl.c:      flag_hosted = 0;

That's all, folks !
