This PR mainly exists as a reminder for myself, I have been bitten by this a couple of times while testing an unrelated patch and getting stumped by apparent major breakage.
Inside the build tree, for each $module and $MULTIDIR, the files $target/$module/Makefile and probably also $target/$MULTIDIR/$module/Makefile have broken rules for the 'Makefile' target: when run, these rules just run './config.status Makefile', whereas the right thing to do would be to also run the './config.status default-1' config commands. FWIW, this is not important for a normal bootstrap, only for an incremental rebuild in which the respective Makefile.in file has been updated. IOW, in practice it can only happen with --enable-maintainer-mode or after a './contrib/gcc_update' which happened to update the Makefile.in files but not the respective configure files. To reproduce: in an up to date build tree with --enable-multilib, do touch $srcdir/libgomp/Makefile.in make and observe $target/libgomp/Makefile differences. Fix by rm -f $target/*/Makefile make I intend to eventually fix this, but it is low priority. -- Summary: build: target modules Makefiles have broken rebuild rules (multilib issue) Product: gcc Version: 4.5.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P3 Component: other AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: rwild at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43171
