Hi
During the toolchain adjustments, LFS does stuff like this:
gcc --print-file specs
IMHO the usage is bogus because:
1) `--print-file' is undocumented (therefore could break anytime)
2) `--print-file' only works by pure good fortune. Don't believe me? Try
this with a GCC-3.4.x:
`gcc --print-f specs'
The documented switch is:
-print-file-name=
However, the docs say it is only for "library", but it appears to work for
any file or dir within GCC's private dir eg: specs, startfiles, Other
toolchain components (eg: Glibc, Binutils) rely on `-print-file-name=' for
exactly those purposes. Therefore, using it like this is fine.
Regards
Greg
