Summary: gcc --target-help tries to assemble and link
Product: gcc
Version: 3.4
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: driver
AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org

GCC build triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
GCC host triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
GCC target triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
Running gcc --target-help, the driver tries to assemble and link, which
obviously fails and gives confusing errors:

I think the reason why --target-help tries to call as and ld with --target-help is because the
GNU tools understand them so I do not know if this is expected behavior though.

While this is true (at least for recent versions of GNU as and ld), I don't
think a casual user asking gcc for its target-specific options wants (or
needs) to be flooded with target-specific assembler and linker options.
And when GNU as/ld are not in use, passing --target-help to the native
tools unconditionally is certainly a bug.

As I said before gcc passes it for as and ld but they should pass it on if either of them do not
accept it.
