- Subject: quickstrap, et al, at the top level?
Is there any particular reason why the addition *strap targets aren't
available from the top-level Makefile?
Or, same question put differently: running "cd gcc; make foostrap" doesn't
pick up the definitions of GCC_FLAGS_TO_PASS, doesn't run SET_LIB_PATH,
and so forth, that the top-level Makefile does for the bootstrap* targets.
Why doesn't this cause problems?
Phil
