I noticed that in gcc trunk and gcc 4.2 branch that multilib builds of zlib occur. Does gcc actually use the multlib zlib?
Not for the host zlib.
For instance on x86_64 linux does the 32-bit zlib get used or on Darwin does the 64-bit zlib get used? We are considering using the --with-system-zlib option when building gcc 4.2 but MacOS X 10.4 and earlier lacks a 64-bit zlib support library. Thanks in advance for any clarifications.
If you want to prepare a patch to pass --disable-multilib in the host configure arguments, and test it adequately, I'll be happy to review it.
