You submitted that big ugly patch and didn't make any attempt to describe
why it was needed.  I told you at the time I had no intention of installing
the patch without such information.

Franz managed to desribe the problem reasonably well in his message, odds
are if you had bothered to take the time to do the same, then this problem
would have been fixed by now.

It's definitely too late to go back and include your patch for the release.


Can we come up with a less intrusive way to fix this problem?

Seems to me that we could add something like this after the alpha/linux
line in the shared case

   *-*-linux*)	target_makefile_frag=config/mt-${target_cpu}linuxpic

Or something similar.  We then need a few linuxpic files.
