Subject: [RFC PATCH] configure: Do not add --warn-common to the linker flags anymore
Date: Tue, 25 May 2021 13:11:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210525111149.131222-1-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)

We are compiling with -fno-common since commit 4c288acbd6 ("configure:
Always build with -fno-common"), so --warn-common (which had been added
in commit 49237acdb725e in 2008 already) should not be necessary anymore
nowadays.

 Marked as RFC since I'm not 100% sure whether I'm missing here something...
 but IMHO the --warn-common does not buy us anything if we also compile
 with -fno-common...
