<li> <tt>--enable-shared</tt> -- Build shared versions of the C++ runtime
libraries if supported <tt>--disable-shared</tt> is the default.
! <li> <tt>--with-gnu-as</tt> -- Specify that the compiler should
! assume that the assembler it finds is the GNU assembler. However,
! this does not modify the rules to find an assembler and will result
! in confusion if the found assembler is not actually the GNU
! assembler. If you have more than one assembler installed on your
! system, you may want to use this option in connection with
! <tt>--with-as=/path/to/gas</tt>.
! <li> <tt>--with-as=</tt><i>/path/to/as</i> -- Specify that the compiler
! should use the assembler pointed to by <i>pathname</i>, rather than
! the one found by the standard rules to find an assembler, which are:
! <ul>
! <li> Check the <i>$exec_prefix/lib/gcc-lib/$target/$version</i>
! directory, where <i>$exec_prefix</i> defaults to <i>$prefix</i>
! which defaults to <i>/usr/local</i> unless overridden by the
! <tt>--prefix=/pathname</tt> switch described above.
! <i>$target</i> is the target system triple, such as
! <i>sparc-sun-solaris2.7</i>, and <i>$version</i> denotes the GCC
! version, such as <i>2.95.2</i>.
!
! <li> Check operating system specific directories
! (e.g. <i>/usr/ccs/bin</i> on Sun Solaris).
! </ul>
! Note that these rules do not check for the value of
! <i>$PATH</i>. You may want to use <tt>--with-as</tt> if no assembler
! is installed in the directories listed above, or if you have
! multiple assemblers installed and want to choose one that is not
! found by the above rules.
