Hello,
I'd like to submit a patch to clarify the error message below, as "jc1" would
never be a directory. I'll also do the same for cc1 and cc1plus and a Fortran
equivalent if there is one.
As part of that patch I'd like to make the error message give a clearer
indication that the GNU Java Compiler might not be installed, or other backend.
So for example the error message could be changed too:
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec 'jc1': Check GNU Java Compiler 'gcj' is
installed.
Would a patch to change this be supported for review?
Kind regards
Jon
$ gcc -o hello hello.java

I've filed this in the "other" component, as there isn't a "general" component.
