           Summary: Odd Java -extdirs / --extdirs handling
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: java
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: jsm28@gcc.gnu.org


Java -extdirs is peculiar in that it is different from -fextdirs/--extdirs;
-extdirs is processed by the driver only, not directly generating jc1 options,
while -fextdirs (and the --extdirs alias) is processed by jc1 only.  This may
not result in any semantic differences, but it would be cleaner for these
options to be handled in one place only with all the other variants being
aliases for a canonical version; a difference between -extdirs and --extdirs
does not seem sensible.
