Yes, that what you should normally do.

Maybe if you generate fresh configs it will disappear? :)

Command-Shift-e on Mac, Alt-Shift-e on WIndows, and whatever the equivalent on linux causes the system to browse all methods whose literals include a string containing the selection.  So if you type and select -ldl in a workspace and do Command-Shift-e the method should be presented to you.

I've looked everywhere inside the generator image to find out where this is set, but I'm not having any luck.  The closest thing I've found is CPlatformConfig>>addDriver:sources:generator, but overriding and removing the -ldl options in there doesn't seem to have any effect (also the other options don't match up).  Can anyone point me to where this is set?
