Hi! Now that GCC again is in development stage, and with fresh hope to have someone review this patch submission, after having let the issue rest for several months: I just re-tested the current versions. Still there are no changes for a "regular" build (not using the new configure options). On the other hand, configuring GCC as described in the documentation update, it is possible to use the 32-bit x86 linker for/with a x86_64 build, and get the very same GCC test results as when using a x86_64 linker. See <http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3C87k3hioknw.fsf%40kepler.schwinge.homeip.net%3E> for the whole story.
The patches looked fine to Cary, but he says they need approval by a
global maintainer or build machinery maintainer.
