[Bug bootstrap/42028] New: Bootstrap fails for mpfr/gmp not in LD_LIBRARY_PATH

[scovich at gmail dot com]

Bootstrapping of gcc-4.4.2 fails on my machine because the stage 1 compiler has
a runtime dependency on mpfr and gmp, which are not in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH
because I only built them in order to compile gcc. 

Using --with-gmp, --with-mpfr and --with-build-libsubdir at configure time lets
it compile but doesn't help it run. 

Given that the inputs to configure make it pretty clear mpfr and gmp are not in
standard locations, and the finished compiler won't have any dependencies on
those libraries, I would expect the build system to ensure they are accessible
to any dependent intermediate binaries it runs.

The workaround is to set up an LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so this is more annoyance than
anything else.

Hmm.. it seems the final executable depends on mpfr and gmp as well... I could
have sworn the docs said it was a build-time dependency only.

This is a standard issue with any kind of shared library really.  You either
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or edit /etc/ld.conf or use -R .  There is not much can be
done on GCC's side.

So closing this bug as invalid.
