The problem is that --with-target-subdir invokes some behaviors that aren't appropriate for a build-libiberty, mostly pertaining to multilibs. You yourself weren't sure of your patch: "The following hack seems to work, but I'm not convinced it's the right fix." > So far, only 2 people complained. The number of people complaining usually has nothing to do with the severity of a bug or the correctness of its solution. Plus, we do canadians inside Red Hat all the time and nobody's complained to me internally. This doesn't mean it's not a problem, it just means it's not an "obviously broken" type of problem. There is a trivial workaround (which is why RH doesn't see it): don't build in the source directory. Perhaps we should disable building in the source directory if it's not a simple native? It would simplify some things and make maintaining it easier. But that depends on how much more effort is needed to get the current solution working right. > We need more people to tell DJ to get it fixed. Sorry, this won't work. I'm a volunteer, just like you. Maybe we need more people to tell *you* to submit a correct solution? However, I appreciate the reminder (even a mildly insulting one) as I do have this on my todo list, and might have time to actually *look at* my todo list this week ;) > Maybe I should give up since my gcc, gdb and binutils don't have > this problem. You may do whatever you wish in your own sources, and we certainly can't force you to contribute back to the official sources.
