Re: Where should libiberty.a be installed?
libiberty.a ends up in /usr/lib (and the multilib in /usr/lib/ppc64)
This appears to be ignoring the
"--enable-version-specific-runtime-libs" flags (which is honored
AFAICT by all the other libs).
libiberty is not a runtime library.
I appreciate this, however, libiberty *is* installed into the user's
DESTDIR.
Yes. However, it (the installed libiberty.a) isn't used by any of the
installed GCC binaries, so it doesn't cause problems there.
OTOH, like I said, why is it installed at all by default? Its header
files are not, so this would seem pretty useless.
