Sure. Sorry about the delay. The only thing the compiler should need the plugin-api.h for is the enum ld_plugin_symbol_resolution. If we split plugin-api.h in two, we would be able to compile gcc itself without stdint.h. The problem with this approach is that the lto plugin would still fail to build in a system without stdint.h. Is it OK to have optional features like the gold plugin not supported in systems like "Tru64 UNIX V4.0F"? Yet another possibility would be to change the build system so that we always build the lto plugin with xgcc (in addition to the plugin-api.h split). No idea how hard this is. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40790
