In-Reply-To: fixing the c++/f77 circular dependency
But LANGUAGES is still desirable for bootstrapping, because if you compile
with an inferior system compiler you only want to build the C compiler
with it, and them build the rest with the just built gcc.
We do need a way to build only the C compiler in the first stage of a
bootstrap. However, we do not have any particular need for LANGUAGES itself.
If we can find some other way to build only the C compiler, then we can get
rid of LANGUAGES. For instance, it might be possible to have a `make all'
target that builds all languages, and a `make only_c' target that builds
only the C language stuff.
Jim
