Summary: --with-ld used inconsistently
Product: gcc
Version: 4.6.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: build
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: other
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: amyl...@gcc.gnu.org
Target: ix86-netware --with-ld=nwld
Build: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
The documentation of --with-as / --with-ld does not specify if the specified
programs are to be used with the build, host and/or target compiler.
gcc/configure{,.ac} has a check of --with-ld / $(DEFAULT_LINKER) that require
it to be executable on the build system.
On the other hand, the config.gcc case for i[3456x]86-*-netware*)
uses a modified *target* configuration when --with-ld=nwld is given,
which would indicate that these should be host-X-target programs.
