[BUG] checking if gcc supports -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions... no

[Gerrit P. Haase]

Hallo,

I use gcc-3.3 and see this output since I upgraded the compiler:

$ gcc -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions conftest.c -o conftest.o
cc1: warning: "-frtti" is valid for C++ but not for C/ObjC

which leads to this statement in the configure run:
 checking if gcc supports -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions... no


Why is gcc and not g++ tested with these flags?  And if you test to
compile C++ code with gcc than you should test with conftest.cc or
some file that is treated as C++ input by gcc and not with conftest.c.


Regards,
Gerrit
