- Subject: Overlapping patterns in toplevel configure.in
The toplevel congfigure.in script contains a case pattern *-*-linux* that
overrules the pattern mips*-*-linux*. The first pattern only exists in
the gcc repository, not in the src repository. There are also other linux
cases that are not a superset of the generic *-*-linux* case. What is the
best way to resolve that? Perhaps the generic linux pattern should be
moved to a separate case statement. But there is also a catch-all
pattern at the end that disables libgcj for all not explicitly mentioned
targets unless --enable-libgcj is given. In other words, it's a big
mess. :-(
Andreas.
