I am also curious as to why we do not need some logic to do a similar job
in gcc-interface/Make-lang.in:
ifeq ($(STAGE1),True)
ADA_INCLUDES=$(COMMON_ADA_INCLUDES)
adalib=$(dir $(shell $(CC) -print-libgcc-file-name))adalib
GNATLIB=$(adalib)/$(if $(wildcard $(adalib)/libgnat.a), libgnat.a,libgnat.so)
$(STAGE1_LIBS)
else
^^^ I would expect us to need to switch to libgnat_pic.a when we are building a
PIE exe.
