--- Comment #10 from Eric Botcazou <ebotcazou at gcc dot gnu.org> --- > Is that switch similar to or different from the switch '--target=something', > which http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html discourages from use? There are 3 different switches: --build, --host and --target. > It says: "GCC has code to correctly determine the correct value for target > for nearly all native systems. Therefore, we highly recommend you do not > provide a configure target when configuring a native compiler." Well, that's wrong for SPARC/Solaris and probably most multi-arch systems.
