Error for unknown spec function 'dumps' when compiling GCC 11.X

[Tammo Tjarks]

Hi Jonathan,
I tried also the git version as well. But that had no effect. My best guess is, that it is related to the fact, that I compile with a static linked gcc.
I tried also a shared linked gcc version (9.2.0), but there I run into other problems.
Anyway, I guess it is something like: First is compiled with the building gcc and after the shared libraries are compiled the shared library is redirected somehow to the 11er-Version which supports the dumps function. Anyway, I solved it on my side with a small hack. I exchanged inside gcc.c simply the line:
static const char *cpp_debug_options = DUMPS_OPTIONS ("");
to
static const char *cpp_debug_options = "%{d*}";
as in gcc 10.3. With that hack I was able to compile.

Best regards,
Tammo
