--- Comment #7 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-09-15 10:04:18 UTC --- (In reply to comment #6) > Why don't we just install this file in > /usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.0/ instead of > $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir)/ by default? Who's "we"? I have several versions of GDB and GCC installed, which GDB data dir should I put the printers in, all of them? That would need root access in some cases. > BTW Gentoo does this by default: Gentoo is a distro and can decide to put the system compiler's files in the system debugger's data dir, not everyone who installs GCC can do that.
