From: Andreas Schwab Date: Tue, 09 Apr 2002 01:55:00 -0000 Message-ID: User-Agent: Gnus/5.090005 (Oort Gnus v0.05) Emacs/21.2.50 (ia64-suse-linux) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-SW-Source: 2002-04/txt/msg00117.txt.bz2 The toplevel congfigure.in script contains a case pattern *-*-linux* that overrules the pattern mips*-*-linux*. The first pattern only exists in the gcc repository, not in the src repository. There are also other linux cases that are not a superset of the generic *-*-linux* case. What is the best way to resolve that? Perhaps the generic linux pattern should be moved to a separate case statement. But there is also a catch-all pattern at the end that disables libgcj for all not explicitly mentioned targets unless --enable-libgcj is given. In other words, it's a big mess. :-( Andreas. -- Andreas Schwab, SuSE Labs, schwab@suse.de SuSE GmbH, Deutschherrnstr. 15-19, D-90429 Nürnberg Key fingerprint = 58CA 54C7 6D53 942B 1756 01D3 44D5 214B 8276 4ED5 "And now for something completely different."
