This
is basically what I remember too. Although I also think there were some
people who were using or extending the default toolchain definitions for their
own compilers who couldn't handle the space.(?) We added that space in,
and their compilers that were previously working suddenly started having errors,
so we changed it back. At least I kind of remember something like
that. However, I think maybe at that time this space/no space was
hard-coded into the system, rather than customizable via xml, so the decision
was to return it to its original state for compatability.(?) My memory is
a little fuzzy, though. Anyone else remember this?

I think it was
because we had one variant that couldn’t handle the space (macosx comes to
mind). I actually think we have more variants that need the space than can’t
handle it.

I think that the
“generic” GNU compiler definition has never had a space after the –o. I
don’t know the reason.

This issue has always
bugged me. Do we know/remember why we don’t have a space after the
‘-o’?

Solaris
I have heard from a few people
with a problem using the built-in GNU tool-chain on Solaris because a space is
required after the –o output flag. Currently, they have to modify the
tool-chain to get it to work. Is there anyone using Solaris who has not
had to modify the tool-chain? I will create Solaris specific project
types with a space after the output flag if no one speaks up. What I
don’t want to do is make the change and then find that a different
implementation of the GNU tool-chain on Solaris requires that a space not be
present.
Thanks,
Leo
