------- Comment #7 from dje at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-12-07 13:19 ------- Changing the behavior of GCC -print-search-dirs is a bad idea and will break other applications relying on the current behavior. Introducing a major incompatibility into GCC is not a solution and I strongly oppose the proposal.
There is an appropriate option (-print-multi-os-directory), which libtool is planning to use in a future release. GCC should not be working around a libtool problem. A Linux distro can make changes to a local copy, but this change should not be applied to FSF GCC. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20425
