So.. let me ping that, again, now that another year has passed :) PS: Recap: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2012-03/msg00094.html was later applied as http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=dejagnu.git;a=commit;h=5481f29161477520c691d525653323b82fa47ad7 and was part of the dejagnu-1.5.2 release from 2015. Jonathan requires 1.5.3 for libstdc++ testing. The libdirs fix would allow us to remove the 150 occurrences of the load_gcc_lib hack, refer to the patch to the fortran list back then. AFAIR this is still not fixed: +# BUG: gcc-dg calls gcc-set-multilib-library-path but does not load gcc-defs! debian-stable (i think 9 ATM), Ubuntu LTS ship versions recent enough to contain both fixes. Commercial distros seem to ship fixed versions, too. thanks,
