The only thing that is a bit unclear to me is how you will make it use the correct shared libraries at run time, of an executable compiled like that. Essentially this problem is new since egcs is including shared libraries in the package, and thus the shared library version becomes a part of the version of egcs. The same problem (will) occur when the -V option is used. You should at least wait till H.J. added his patches to rename these shared libraries to something that includes the version of the compiler I think. Apart from that, it would have a logical `feel' if it was possible to use the -V option for this, ie: gcc -V 2.7.2.3 ... gcc -V 2.8.1 ... gcc -V 2.91.45 ... gcc -V built ... Or something similar, where `gcc' would be just /usr/bin/gcc (some (old) egcs version). -- Carlo Wood export EGCS_BUILD_DIR=/usr/src/egcs/egcs-cvs
