PR 35107 appears to have regressed on mainline. It was originally fixed on the trunk and 4.3 back in February:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35107 http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-02/msg00187.html The summary is that gmp and mpfr and unnecessarily linked into all executables (e.g. xgcc, gcov) whereas they should only be used for programs that are linked with libbackend.a like cc1. It matters when gmp/mpfr are shared libs. There's no reason to slow down the startup of all programs we provide by dynamically loading these libraries. During the graphite merge, $GMPLIBS was added back to the generic $LIBS variable and gets linked into everything. Is this really necessary? http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/trunk/gcc/Makefile.in?r1=139854&r2=139893 If it's not necessary, IMHO this should be fixed again before we branch 4.4. I think CLOOGLIBS and PPLLIBS need to be moved to the right places, but I don't have those libraries to test it myself. Since it would touch all the places my original patch did, perhaps it would be best to create a BACKENDLIBS and/or BACKENDDEPS variable and hook GMPLIBS, CLOOGLIBS and PPLLIBS in there.
