A warning > with a pause may also suffice. So what do we do for openoffice, which breaks when python was compiled with= =20 fast-math (probably breaking python's math functions). Do we really want to= =20 add filters for stupid flags? For me the choise has only two viable options= =2E=20 1) Completely ignoring the flag; 2) Dieing when it occurs. I'm affraid that the usage of -ffast-math is that common that option 1 crea= tes=20 too many false bug reports. As such we choose to die on it to protect=20 ourselves. It prevents us from diagnosing PEBKAC bugs manually.
