GCC (actually, most compilers I think) allows you to specify -L, -I and -R multiple times. In contrast, distutils expects on of them with a colon-separated list of directories. It only pays attention to the last one of any of those three flags. I've been bitten by this difference a couple times in recent weeks. It seems that distutils should warn when any of these flags are given multiple times or (better yet) should conform more to common compiler usage and allow them to be given multiple times, collecting all values together in a list. |

+1 on handling those options like gcc in distutils2. +1 on printing warnings in distutils1, but I don’t know if it could break third-party code, so Tarek will accept or reject. |

Skip, do you agree with my proposal (no behavior change in d1, better behavior in d2) or do you think it could be confusing? |

I would prefer the gcc-like behavior. I realize there are constraints on making changes in distutils1, so what you propose sounds fine to me. |
