            Bug ID: 108142
           Summary: Many empty directories created in the build directory
           Product: gcc
           Version: 13.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: modula2
          Assignee: gaius at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: jakub at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Seems a lot of new empty directories are created in the build directory during
toplevel configure:
stage{1,2,3,4}/m2
m2/ (lots of subdirectories)
They are created regardless of whether m2 is in --enable-languages= or not,
both when
using absolute pathnames and relative (/whatever/configure
--enable-languages=m2 or
../configure --enable-languages=m2 or ../configure --enable-languages=c etc.)
and from what I can see, they remain empty (don't contain any non-directories)
for the whole duration of build or bootstrap.
Can we get rid of those, or create them only before they'd be actually used?
And, preferably without those stage{1,2,3,4} toplevel directories at least (say
move the stages into m2/ or even gcc/m2 subdirectory of the build directory).

--- Comment #3 from Gaius Mulley <gaius at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Thanks for the bug report - here is a proposed fix.  I've moved all m2 related
directories into gcc/m2 and directories are now created as required.

Bootstrapped on GNU/Linux x86_64, due to the asynchronous nature of the builds
I'll test on a variety of machines before posting patches to the mailing list.

Anyway the work in progress patch follows as an attachment.

--- Comment #4 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I think pretty much nothing but m2 uses mkdir -p directly, other makefiles use
$(mkinstalldirs) (unless only a single directory needs to be created, for that
mkdir dir
is fine).

Ah thanks, I'll change all uses of mkdir -p to $(mkinstalldirs).

m2 remove empty directories from top build (using mkinstalldirs)

The same patch as before but now using mkinstalldirs instead of mkdir -p.
