------- Comment #7 from steven at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-12-15 13:25 -------
Three questions:
1. According to the 'find(1)' man pages, -o is specified in POSIX. Should GCC
support non-POSIX find commands? IMHO, no.
2. Why would you build in a busybox environment in the first place? This seems
like a highly unusual thing to do. IMHO gcc should not have to be able to
build in such a limited environment as busybox.
3. Assuming you have good reasons for (2), is there anything stopping you from
just installing and using a POSIX conforming 'find(1)' command?
Either way, http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html should be updated to
reflect what we require to build gcc.
