When building GCC, I often pass --quiet to the top-level configure
script. However, I sometimes find the need to blow away the build tree
and rebuild from scratch. When this happens, I use config.status -V to
find out what options I passed when the build tree was first set up. eg:
$ ./config.status -V
config.status
configured by /home/bje/source/gcc-trunk/configure, generated by GNU Autoconf
2.59,
with options " '--disable-bootstrap' '--enable-languages=c,c++'
[...]
If I configured this tree at the outset with --quiet, this will never be
recorded in the config.status output and I must remember to append it
when reconstructing the configure command line. This may well also
apply to other configure options.
A bug?
Cheers, Ben
