Configure script option checking does not work
Hello, The binutils configure script fails to check for unrecognized options: ./configure --enable-nonexisting-feature runs just fine. This is especially confusing as there are some configure options which are not documented, e.g., --enable-plugins or --enable-threads. It would be great to protect users from mistakes when using such options. Note that the configure script has a --disable-option-checking flag documented, which suggests that it should do option checking. I don't have much experience with autoconf and related tools, but would be willing to invest some time to patch this if people think it's useful.

.rsrc section ignored in library members for all Windows target.
Hello, It seems the .rsrc section is ignored when it comes from an library member for all Windows targets. I have quiet a variety win32/win64 targets (i686-w64-mingw32, i686-pc-mingw32, i686-pc-cygwin, x86_64-w64-mingw32) from cygwin32. I have also tested a fresh compile of i686-w64-mingw32-ld from binutils-2.4 and from binutils-git, all with the same result. Best regards, -- GB. ___ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils

This is deliberate, since the option may be accepted by a subdir configure script. This is especially confusing as there are some configure options which are not documented, e.g., --enable-plugins or --enable-threads. They are documented by the subdir configure scripts that recognize them. Use --help=recursive to see them all.
