[Debian-lego-team] FYI: GCC 15 appears to generate faulty h8300-hitachi-coff cross-compiler binaries

This was included as a standard configure code-check ("configure:4988: checking for exception model to use") during the GCC 3.4.6 era (~2005-2006), and the "-std=gnu89" flag is specified when building this GCC3-based h8300-hitachi-coff cross-toolchain.

The main question here is not the configure code-check snippet itself but why is GCC 15 changing the behavior of GCC 3.4.6?


Thank you,
