Re: [PATCH] Git.pm: Support for perl/ being built by a different compiler

Petr Baudis [off-list ref] writes:

dst_ on #git reported that on Solaris 9, Perl was built by Sun CC
and perl/ is therefore being built with it as well, while the rest
of Git is built with gcc. The problem (the first one visible, anyway)
is that we passed perl/ even various gcc-specific options. This
separates those to a special variable.

This is not really meant for an application yet since it's not clear
if it will alone help anything.

Do things link and work fine if we do not have the GCC specific
options?

I would question why the rest of git is not built with Sun CC as
well if that is the case.
