[root@wozzle tmp]# g++ -v -MMD x.cc

cpp0: Invalid option -MF

According to the help from cpp0 --help, it accepts the -MD and -MMD flags.
So gcc/g++ just needs to pass it along, unchanged.

Jakub, any idea when this was introduced? Can I step back to -71 and still
get the "operator-names" stuff working correctly?
Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2001-02-18 09:19:09 UTC 
You should always update all gcc subpackages. If you update to cpp-2.96-74,
everything should work.
I've just added more strict Requires: which will show up in the next
gcc build.
