--- Comment #2 from Francois-Xavier Coudert <fxcoudert at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
It's puzzling, because although I've never read any Ada code, I can see there
is some logic in place that should deal with it. In make.adb there is:
Gcc : String_Access := Program_Name ("gcc", "gnatmake");
Gnatbind : String_Access := Program_Name ("gnatbind", "gnatmake");
Gnatlink : String_Access := Program_Name ("gnatlink", "gnatmake");
and in osint.adb the function Program_Name has some logic to find prefix and
suffix:
-- Find the target prefix if any, for the cross compilation case.
-- For instance in "powerpc-elf-gcc" the target prefix is
-- "powerpc-elf-"
-- Ditto for suffix, e.g. in "gcc-4.1", the suffix is "-4.1"
and it uses them to return the program that is going to be used:
-- Create the new program name
return new String'
(Name_Buffer (Start_Of_Prefix .. End_Of_Prefix)
& Nam
& Name_Buffer (Start_Of_Suffix .. Name_Len));
I tried to debug this by sticking some Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line calls, but either
I'm doing it wrong, or it's never actually called.
