Paolo's recent post on gcc-patches reminded me of all the toplevel libgcc changes I have pending. To recap, the dependence is: if libgcc is moved out of the top level, the "configure --disable-bootstrap; make bootstrap" approach will no longer work. Building without a bootstrap will be fine, of course - either for cross compilers, or in today's sources with "configure --disable-bootstrap; make", or in hypothetical future sources with "configure; make" if that goes back to being a non-bootstrap target at some point.
So, how many people are still working with old-style GCC subdirectory bootstrap? What blockers are there, besides retraining our fingers? -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
