Hello All,
The file gcc/Makefile.in (of gcc trunk revision ) contains near line 334 # Compiler needed for plugin support PLUGINCC = @CC@ # Flags needed for plugin support PLUGINCFLAGS = @CFLAGS@ # Libs and linker options needed for plugin support PLUGINLIBS = @pluginlibs@ It seems that these make variables are not needed exactly for plugin support, but to compile plugins, in particular those in the testsuite. Perhaps we should add a comment in the gcc/Makefile.in, something like ## the PLUGINCC, PLUGINCFLAGS, PLUGINLIBS variables are used to ## compile plugins, notably from the testsuite. They may change when ## bootstrapping the compiler, e.g. in stage2 ... Am I understanding that correctly? What do you think?
