- Subject: Building gcc with gnu binutils automatically
If you use gnu ld or as to build GCC, you get extra features in gcc
itself. There's a few bugzilla PRs on this, and a lot of emails on
the mailing list. What I don't see, however, is how I can have
configure detect the usage of GNU binutils automatically. In other
words, without explicitly passing in --with-gnu-ld/as, I don't get the
features in question.
Is there a way to do this? Or, is there a way to fix configure so
that it does some test without requiring the option? Also, is there a
way to do this for a cross compiler?
