Re: [mingw32] Re: [RFC] changing gcc default output executable na me (a.exe now)


Hi all

If such a patch as this goes forward, am I right that the implicit
make(1) rules will be changed at the same time gcc and/or binutils is
changed?  I mean that
	make hello
would by default produce the file "hello" rather than "hello.exe".

And if not, why not?  :-)
