The $gcc_cv_ld -V part then determines which one it is and\nacts accordingly. For Solaris, I've left it to install.texi to explain\nmy preference (Solaris ld) and the advantages and disadvantages of\neither, together with always recommending to use --with-ld.\n\nThat allows users to make an informed choice.\n\n> On a slightly different issue, if I try to build gcc with GNU ld with a version\n> of gcc built with HP ld, I have to explicity configure with --with-ld or export\n> DEFAULT_LINKER=/opt/gnu64/bin/ld.

This causes\n> HP ld to be used even though I configured with --with-gnu-ld.\n\nTesting binutils is always a special case for exactly that reason.\nHere's what I do on Solaris:\n\n* Build and install Binutils into some prefix.\n\n* Prefix PATH with $prefix/bin, then build and install GCC into the\n prefix *without* either --with-as or --with-ld. This way, GNU ld is\n picked up and gcc/configure determines that it's not Solaris ld.\n\nThe resulting gcc is used to build and test binutils trunk. Again, it\npicks as/ld from PATH as above *and* allows gcc -B... to use the freshly\nbuilt gas and gld in the binutils tests.\n\nIt's certainly tedious to need such a special GCC build (which is\notherwise undesirable since PATH changes could cause it to use an\nincompatible assembler/linker not used during configure), but otherwise\nworks just fine. Fortunately, you don't have to do this often, so once\nset up, you're set.\n\nHope this helps.\n\n\tRainer","diff":"# HG changeset patch\n# Parent fe6b03587bee6fdd7df1519a6b8388979ea7fc1e\nbuild:
