about this? This will ofcourse make things totally incompatible, so all usages of MiG in glibc, the Hurd, GNU Mach and any other place that uses MiG will need to be updated. The patch is not tested, but it might work if I am not still mad. 2005-04-11 Alfred M. Szmidt <[EMAIL PROTEC

[sorry for breaking threading, but I don't have access to my usual mail account here] How about making MiG ignore any unregogniced options instead? I think it should already do that, if it doesn't, then I'd consider it a bug. ___ Bug-hurd mailing list

Roland, what do you think about making --enable-new-dtags (a configure option to binutils) default when compiling binutils for GNU? This would allow us to use DT_RUNPATH, and thus RUNPATH if I understand things correctly. The only thing that needs to be done from the looks is patching a file in [

If mig isn't found, the configure script just continues and pretends to be happy. If you then try to compile the Hurd, it will go into a infinite loop. OK to commit? 2005-04-07 Alfred M. Szmidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * configure.in: Error out if MiG couldn't be found.
