If however, you are "compiling" files with a ".i", ".s", or ".S" suffix, then "as" will be invoked. Is this a bug or a feature? Also, I have been told that the gcc.c driver routine will (from now on) be common between GCC and G++. Since I didn't see any pattern for files with a ".C" suffix in the gcc.c file for GCC 1.36, I'm forced to ask if this means that I can no longer use the .C suffix for my C++ source files. What's the scoop? // rfg
