RE: [cdt-dev] Long compiler error messages not readable in the Pr oblems

[Kim Lux <lux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wait a minute !  I don't think those are really build errors that are
showing up in the problems screen:

a) I do a make clean.  I do a build and get 10 build errors.  Can't read
them too long.  I build again and it builds perfectly.  No errors.  I
think there is a bug in the gcc error parser, claiming there are errors,
but there aren't.  That is why it isn't stopping.  gcc isn't emitting
any errors. The target runs fine.  

b) I quit eclipse and open a console in ../workspace/binutils.  I do a
make clean and make.  No errors.  The target runs fine. 

The reason it isn't stopping is because there aren't really any errors.
There is, however a bug in the gcc error parsing code.
