On i386, our conftest only has .text and .comment (which is skipped), but on x86_64 there's an additional .eh_frame section which isn't skipped unless you tell it to. Just one step further towards x86_64 grub ;-) Comments? -- Robert Millan I know my rights; I want my phone call! What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?
