Hi,
when compiling gcc-2.95.2 I noticed that the "--tmpdir" option of the configure script
does not work properly. The output of configure is
~/data/oegcs>../gcc-2.95.2/configure --tmpdir=/tmp
Configuring for a i686-pc-linux-gnu host.
Created "Makefile" in /afs/mpa/home/martin/data/oegcs using "mt-frag"
Configuring libiberty...
configure: error: --tmpdir=/tmp: invalid option; use --help to show usage
Configure in /afs/mpa/home/martin/data/oegcs/libiberty failed, exiting.
Apparently, libiberty doesn't know about --tmpdir. The problem still exists
in the current CVS version.
This option is really needed sometimes; in my particular setup the /tmp
directory is not large enough to bootstrap gcc with debugging enabled.
Cheers,
Martin
