Why not fix this? For example, it could also give back configure options (--with-float=hard) that should be implicitly assumed to have been provided. It really does seem like a hack to use triplets in this way; I think Paul's point that anything that depends on the toolchain triplet to determine ABI is inherently busted is pretty persuasive. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery m...@codesourcery.com (650) 331-3385 x713
