             Bug #: 56780

           Summary: --disable-install-libiberty still installs libiberty.a

    Classification: Unclassified

           Product: gcc

           Version: 4.8.0

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

          Severity: normal

          Priority: P3

         Component: other

        AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org

        ReportedBy: matt...@linuxfromscratch.org





I'd like to build GCC with --disable-install-libiberty so that the version of

libiberty.a provided by Binutils that is already installed will not be

overwritten.  However, the libiberty.a library is still installed even with

that flag specified.



My full configure invocation (run from within ~/gcc-build) is:



../gcc-4.8.0-version;/configure --prefix=/usr \

  --libexecdir=/usr/lib       \

  --enable-shared             \

  --enable-threads=posix      \

  --enable-__cxa_atexit       \

  --enable-clocale=gnu        \

  --enable-languages=c,c++    \

  --disable-multilib          \

  --disable-bootstrap         \

  --disable-install-libiberty \

  --with-system-zlib



Additionally, libiberty's configure script's help output states:



' --enable-install-libiberty       Install headers for end users'



For clarity, that should probably read: 'Install headers and static library for

end users'.  That way, it's in agreement with what is also mentioned in

libiberty.texi.



Thanks,



Matt.
