some linux/freebsd elf targets already do this such as alpha, i386, and ppc. this patch fixes up a bunch of other linux elf targets to move the path of the dynamic linker out of the LINK_SPEC define and into its own DYNAMIC_LINKER define. this is pretty useful when dealing with adding support for other libcs (like uClibc) where all the other linux/elf settings are OK but we just want to change the dynamic linker path to point to our own. this affects x86_64, ia64, m68k, mips, parisc, s390, sh, sparc, and sparc64 -- Summary: move dynamic linker names out of LINK_SPEC and into new DYNAMIC_LINKER Product: gcc Version: 4.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: target AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: vapier at gentoo dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24837
