I'm not sure this is really a "bug", per se...more of a slightly misleading bit of output. It's a side-effect of make var expansion that is not being echoed when configure is called. The resulting specfile that comes with the gcc-3.1 packages is correct. I think this should probably have a severity of 'minor' or 'wishlist' since it really doesn't affect code generation or the operation of the compiler itself, but I'll defer that judgement to Matthias.
