This has come up before for the Cygwin build during linking, maybe the 
option needs to be removed there to avoid this question?

Anyway, the prise winning answer is that it nothing more than a warning. If 
you system seems to "hang" at this stage, it is not because of this message 
but just because linking takes a long time when using a system with less 
than 512 MB memory.

To give you an idea, linking Xastir on a 600 MHz Celeron machine with 192 
MB memory takes 80 minutes. Curt shared with us that linking on a 128 MB 
machine doesn't cut it at all.

Building Xastir from scratch (the "make" step after "bootstrap.sh" and 
"configure") on an Athlon XP3000 machine with 512 MB memory takes 2 minutes 
and 9 seconds. And yes, I also get the same "gcc: unrecognized option 
`-no-undefined'" warning.

Kind regards,

Henk.
