   You're missing the point completely but whatever, your choice.

   This is not gcc maintainers' decision. The decision has been made by Vincent   
   who has disabled it. Mintlib doesn't support -mshort for decades, the same   
   goes for every lib in Sparemint RPM packages. As said, -mshort support is only   
   for the FreeMiNT kernel    
   who has to support -mshort by definition because the TOS API is 16-bit.   
      
   So again, and this is my last post on this topic, you're having obsolete   
   sources and that's that.
