           Summary: Need to support configure --disable-languages
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: other
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
        ReportedBy: ro at techfak dot uni-bielefeld dot de
                CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org
 GCC build triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
  GCC host triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
GCC target triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.8

If you need to disable a single language during configure, you can
currently only do this using

configure --enable-languages=<list of all languages except one>

This is highly inconvenient, especially since you first need to determine
the language names used with this switch (which often differ from the
gcc/<lang> subdir names.

Environment:
System: SunOS padouk 5.8 Generic_108528-23 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-880
Architecture: sun4

	
host: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
build: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
target: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
configured with: /vol/gnu/src/gcc/gcc-dist-current/configure --prefix=/vol/gcc --with-local-prefix=/vol/gcc --disable-nls

How-To-Repeat:
Just try --disable-languages ;-(

Fix:
I'd fix this myself, but the code in gcc/configure.in is sufficiently
intricate for me to refrain from this exercise.
