Under what circumstances will the library be built for the target - only if a relevant language such as Go is being built, or unconditionally? If built unconditionally, will the library build OK for the target in situations where no target headers are yet available? (For such builds of compilers used to bootstrap libc it would be usual to use various --disable- options to disable libraries not needed to build libc, and to use --enable-languages=c, but if this library is used on the host side by the compiler then the generic --disable-libbacktrace might not suffice since that would disable the host copy, required by the compiler itself, as well as the target copy.) -- Joseph S.
