[Bug other/19563] New: Makefiles don't handle configure --program-suffix

[bero at arklinux dot org]

I just tried to abuse autoconf's --program-suffix feature (../configure  
--program-suffix="-4.0") to have gcc 3.4.x and 4.0 in the same directory  
without conflicts.  
  
Looks like the configure option is completely ignored -- the resulting 
binaries are named as usual.

Is this just the Ada's programs that don't get transformed or all.
If it is just Ada, then this is a dup of bug 864.
Otherwise, this was fixed even longer before 3.4.0 by:
2001-11-08  Andreas Franck  <afranck@gmx.de>
        
        * configure.in: Add AC_ARG_PROGRAM to support program name
        transformation with --program-prefix, --program-suffix and
        --program-transform-name. 
        * configure: Regenerated.
        * Makefile.in (GCC_INSTALL_NAME, CPP_INSTALL_NAME,
        PROTOIZE_INSTALL_NAME, UNPROTOIZE_INSTALL_NAME, GCOV_INSTALL_NAME,
        GCCBUG_INSTALL_NAME, GCC_CROSS_NAME, CPP_CROSS_NAME,
        PROTOIZE_CROSS_NAME, UNPROTOIZE_CROSS_NAME): Handle
        program_transform_name the way suggested by autoconf.
        (GCC_TARGET_INSTALL_NAME): Define. 
        (install-driver): Use the transformed target alias name.

It's not just ada, it's everything including gcc and g++ 
Looks like it reappeared somewhere.

Hmm, this has been working for me just fine (except for Ada) for the last
couple of years, in the context of that very usecase: installing several
instances of GCC into the same prefix.

Let's track the Ada issue in PR #51095 specifically, for apart from that
It Seems To Work[TM] for tens of thousands of users of FreeBSD who use my
ports, for example.  Please advise if I missed something!
