That would be nice, but it is not possible. The problem is that gcc is setup so that the language front-ends are *child* directories of the main gcc directory, and a gcc build counts on having the front-end child directories when gcc is built. For example, the main gcc executable depends on information in the sub-directories. It would be nice if the language front-ends were *sibling* directories that could be built *after* the main directrory is built. However, that would involve quite a bit of re-organization of how things work. --Per Bothner Cygnus Solutions bothner@cygnus.com http://www.cygnus.com/~bothner
