Salut Thomas,

I fear I didn't tell the whole story , sorry :( The problem is not when you call ./configure directly but when you call it from dpkg-buildpackage to actually build the package. In this case, configure is excepted not to report an error on the options of my first mail. I have seen other configure scripts that send out a warning (unknown option) but continue processing the command line. That would be the best solution. I have checked that myself and it works. With the last mob, tcc builds as a .deb package both for i386 and x86_64 flawlessly. I have it running on Ubuntu 12.04LTS on an Atom netbook and on my (desk|lap)top.

I ould also like to report that I have been able to compile and run the last tinycc mob on a 64 bit MAC (Snow Leopard). I'm currently investigating what is happenning on a 32 bit system, where tcc just bails out with a stack alignment trap during the build process...

Cheers,/PA
