- The final output of the tool is not executable but a zip
- There is a list option on the tool that has regressed due to [bug 564257](https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=564257) - the change in bug 564257 was done for CDT 10.0 major release and advertised in the N&N

- **Action (John)** Review gerrit to share opinion
