Correct.
Current official binutils behavior:
--disable-auto-import is the default.
--enable-auto-import turns on the feature, but will print warnings
whenever the feature is used.
Current cygwin bintuils behavior:
--enable-auto-import is the default, so the feature is usually
active. However, it prints warnings whenever the feature is used.
--disable-auto-import...turns of the feature
With my patch:
default behavior: ALMOST the same as current cygwin binutils
behavior. auto-import feature is active, but an informational message
(NOT a warning) is printed whenever the feature is used.
--enable-auto-import: don't print the informational message/warning.
--disable-auto-import: turn the feature off...
