Re: [PATCH] libgcc variant


I think it's OK to distribute this kind of support library with GCC. I don't even mind making it part of libgcc, if we're confident in the stability of the ABI. In that case, we already have structure for stuffing extra processor-specific routines into libgcc.

If we don't want to put it in libgcc, then I think we should put it at the top level. We want to move libgcc to the top level anyhow; the last thing we want to do is introduce more libraries within gcc/ itself.

RTH indicated that it would be nice to assume this library is there so that we don't have to autoconf for it. That's fine -- we just say that it's a requirement that you have this library around when you build GCC.
