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.
The module_srcdir patch is fine (assuming you've tested it on a Canadian
cross).
The "Non-host system configuration for linker plugins" patch is OK if
you test it on a Canadian cross (unexpected bugs can pop up with
Canadian crosses, so you need to test it with build != host != target,
preferably with all three incompatible).
I don't feel that I understand the lto-plugin code well enough to
approve that patch.
