Re: [PATCH] top level configure.in (kaOS)

Ok, I can change this. It looked for me like a TAB.

If I'm not wrong, putting target-libiberty within noconfigdirs leads to
a "loud" remove, means you get an message during configure. I do not
like to see that message, because this looks like, as something is going
wrong. That's why I put target-libiberty within the skipdirs.

And the support of libiberty: Well, libiberty is a fantastic OS
abstraction library. I really do like nice libraries, but libiberty does
not fit to the target OS. I short words, libiberty is to complete and to
POSIX for the target. If we do support libiberty, we had to made an
almost POSIX compliant C-API available, but this is exactly what we do
not want. The only available API to application programmes should be an
C++ API. We do know that this is quite exceptional, but this is exactly
the fun to do.

Ok. I put gcc-patches as well within the recipient list.

Thanks in advance,
