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?

Cheers.
