Suggest: Add curl to gcc/install/prerequisites
Hi, Thanks for the clear and concise instructions. I'm building gcc-14, and have a small suggestion. Kind regards, Roosh42 *Webpage to update:* https://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html *Suggestion:* Add curl as one of the prerequisites *Reason:* It is needed for ./contrib/download_prerequisites *Possible HTML to add to "Tools/packages necessary for building GCC":* curl If you use ./contrib/download_prerequisites to download local copies of some prerequisites listed below (e.g. GMP, MPFR, MPC, ISL, gettext), the script will use curl. *Extra reasoning:* By adding this just before the list of deps, it is more likely that readers will become aware that they can take the easy-path* of downloading these via the contrib script, rather than trying to build/install them into their system. *easy-path references in https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC

c99 does not handle -O2 but cc does?
latest SUSE Tumbleweed/gcc 14.2 c99 -O2 test.c returns: c99: invalid option -- '2' cc -O2 test.c returns successfull according to https://linux.die.net/man/1/c99 the -O2 option should work c99 is used in an older build system and that didn't work due to the -O2 problem

Re: Suggest: Add curl to gcc/install/prerequisites
Thanks for the quick response. My system complained that curl was not present. I also did not have wget, but the error didn't mention it (I'm pretty sure). In any case, my suggestion would then be to require either one. BTW, I was running this on a (mostly) clean install of Debian 12 in WSL under Windows 11.

Maybe it wants a space between the -O and 2, but I don't know.
