That is a bug. Ideally, Axiom (build-improvements, that is) should NOT decide itself on the configure options. However, GCL should be able to detect that BFD is missing (or present) and decide accordingly. Now, I rememebr Humberto asked recently what --enable-custreloc was about. It was put there a very long time ago. But since then GCL's configure's gotten smarter and needs not be told about that. Those are bugs that should be corrected. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
