Bug ID: 89166
Summary: -static prevents liblto_plugin to be created
Product: gcc
Version: 8.2.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: lto
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: ilg at livius dot net
CC: marxin at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
Passing -static to the GCC configure/make prevents the LTO plugin to be
properly created; the build is successful, but, for example for the Windows
build, the file liblto_plugin-0.dll is not created, instead a warning is
issued.
For GCC executables this is not a problem, but some binutils executables also
need this plugin (like ar).
I think that the configure/make code for the LTO plugin should ignore the
-static option (even when passed via LDFLAGS) and always build the dll/so.
