            Bug ID: 66570
           Summary: libbacktrace is not installed
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: libgcc
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: jj at stusta dot net
  Target Milestone: ---

libbacktrace is really useful and can be used by user programs perfectly.

Please install the library by default.
Currently: libbacktrace/Makefile.am:
noinst_LTLIBRARIES = libbacktrace.la

Gentoo won't install it on its own:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=552098

Debian already includes the library in in libgcc-4.8-dev and later
(https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/libgcc-4.9-dev/filelist).


We'd like to use libbacktrace for http://openage.sft.mx/ but because of this
issue many distributors don't provide the probably best backtrace library.
