Subject: Warn if the version of the operating system used to compile gcc
X-Git-Url: http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5b463ca73d2c17ecd40c9d2affd7ea1a73fd011c;p=p5sagit%2Fp5-mst-13.2.git

Warn if the version of the operating system used to compile gcc
differs from the current version of the operating system.
Also display the gcc compilation os and version in myconfig.

+*** WHOA THERE!!! ***

+    Your gcc has not been compiled for the exact release of
+    your operating system ($gccosandvers versus $osname$osvers).
+
+    In general it is a good idea to keep gcc synchronized with
+    the operating system because otherwise serious problems
+    may ensue when trying to compile software, like Perl.
+
+    I'm trying to be optimistic here, though, and will continue.
+    If later during the configuration and build icky compilation
+    problems appear, I suggest reinstalling the gcc to match
+    your operating system release.
