Package: libc6
Version: 2.13-24
Severity: minor
Justification: documentation
Tags: patch
libc6's NEWS.Debian explains:
you might try to pass the following option to your
compiler:
-B/usr/lib/<triplet> -I/usr/include/<triplet>
Lately I've been building gcc trunk from time to time, and as noted in
bug#644990 there's no obvious place to put those options to ensure
they get passed to the stage1 compiler. Then suddenly it occured to
me that the usual LIBRARY_PATH and CPATH environment variables would
be a less fussy way to tell the compiler what paths to use.
It works. :)
How about this patch? Hopefully it can save future readers and bug
triagers some time.
