Hi,

I'm trying to have a possibility to dynamically choose between
compatible multilibs (see thread
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2013-08/msg00114.html) if preferred one is
missing. It would allow me to configure MPX binaries to link with MPX
library if such library exists and use non-MPX library version if MPX
version is missing.

I introduced a new flag MULTILIB_COMPATIBLE which has format similar
to MULTILIB_REUSE. For MULTILIB_REUSE dir prefixes are replaced with
reused ones. For MULTILIB_COMPATIBLE compatible dir prefixes are used
in addition to existing.

With this patch applied on MPX enabled GCC and following additional
declarations I was able to build GCC with four library variants: 32 64
32/mpx 64/mpx. Compatible non-MPX files were used to build MPX version
of libraries (e.g. /usr/lib64/crti.o was used for 64/mpx).

MULTILIB_EXTRA_OPTS = mmpx
MULTILIB_OSDIRNAMES+= m64/fmpx=../lib64/mpx$(call
if_multiarch,:x86_64-linux-gnu/mpx)
MULTILIB_COMPATIBLE = m64=m64/fmpx
MULTILIB_OSDIRNAMES+= m32/fmpx=$(if $(wildcard $(shell echo
$(SYSTEM_HEADER_DIR))/../../usr/lib32),../lib32/mpx,../lib/mpx)$(call
if_multiarch,:i386-linux-gnu/mpx)
MULTILIB_COMPATIBLE+= m32=m32/fmpx

Any comments on the used approach?

Thanks,
Ilya
