That's not to say that your patch is automatically > rejected, but it certainly needs some motivation. this has nothing to do with ideological "Linux" versus "GNU/Linux" ... we went through this before with the fixing of all the configure targets in bfd/gas/ld/gcc/etc... linux-gnu implies glibc and glibc is not the only libc you can use out there with linux what i've posted allows targets such as foo-linux-uclibc be detected as supporting shared libraries ... and down the line when dietlibc/etc... are more featureful, they get will benefit automatically when they use foo-linux-dietlibc names -mike
