             Bug #: 51063
           Summary: gcc does not pass the -Fpathname option unmodified to
                    /usr/bin/ld linker (all Darwin systems)
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: driver
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: lutzwei@gmx.de


The framework pathname option -Fpathname on the MacOS X (Darwin) platform (any
version) is not properly passed to the /usr/bin/ld linker by the gcc command.
It seems that one or more whitespaces are added between the -F and the pathname
on the generated ld command. I verified this behaviour of gcc the the following
MacOS X platforms: MacOS X 10.4.11 on a PPC Computer, MacOS X 10.5.8 on a PPC
Computer and MacOS X 10.6.8 on a Intel Computer.
