Unless the other GNU toolchain sub-projects are moving towards the same scheme I really don't see the point in confusing the users of the official FSF with those xtra configure options. We need less knobs, not more. I understand that CoseSourcery has the convention on adding a -csl suffix to the version number for their tools. But that is just one of many conventions. I think things like this are better kept as a local modification. Mark
