Summary: 'configure' built-in help message makes little sense
Product: binutils
Version: 2.21
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
AssignedTo: unassig...@sources.redhat.com
ReportedBy: sergst...@yahoo.com
'/mnt/sdb8/sergei/AFSWD_debug/build/binutils-2.21/configure --help | cat -n'
command produces:
"
1 `configure' configures this package to adapt to many kinds of systems.
2
3 Usage: /mnt/sdb8/sergei/AFSWD_debug/build/binutils-2.21/configure
[OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...
4
5 To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as
6 VAR=VALUE. See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.
7
8 Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.
9
10 Configuration:
11 -h, --help display this help and exit
12 --help=short display options specific to this package
13 --help=recursive display the short help of all the included
packages
14 -V, --version display version information and exit
15 -q, --quiet, --silent do not print `checking...' messages
16 --cache-file=FILE cache test results in FILE [disabled]
17 -C, --config-cache alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'
18 -n, --no-create do not create output files
19 --srcdir=DIR find the sources in DIR [configure dir or
`..']
20
21 Installation directories:
22 --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in
PREFIX
23 [/usr/local]
24 --exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in
EPREFIX
25 [PREFIX]
26
27 By default, `make install' will install all the files in
28 `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc. You can specify
29 an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix',
30 for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.
31
32 For better control, use the options below.
33
34 Fine tuning of the installation directories:
35 --bindir=DIR user executables [EPREFIX/bin]

40 --localstatedir=DIR modifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var]
41 --libdir=DIR object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib]
42 --includedir=DIR C header files [PREFIX/include]
43 --oldincludedir=DIR C header files for non-gcc [/usr/include]
44 --datarootdir=DIR read-only arch.-independent data root
[PREFIX/share]
45 --datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data
[DATAROOTDIR]
46 --infodir=DIR info documentation [DATAROOTDIR/info]
47 --localedir=DIR locale-dependent data [DATAROOTDIR/locale]
48 --mandir=DIR man documentation [DATAROOTDIR/man]

".
In the above the following items do not make sense to me:
*libada (lin #71), *-ppl-* (line #74), *-cloog-* (line #75), everything *mpfr*,
everything *gmp*, etc.
I.e. it looks like the built-in help message was copied from 'gcc'
