I searched for this question in the mailing lists but found no answers,
so I'm sending this e-mail.
Q1) how can I build only the C/C++ libraries that comes with the
compiler source and not the whole compiler (support libraries, libgcc
etc)? Optionally, how can i build them to be static and not shared?
Q2) Suppose I install a new version of gcc. It´s installed in the
default prefix (/usr/local) and I want to use that version instead of
the default older version in prefix /usr. I set an environment var like
'export GCC=/usr/local/bin/gcc' and use that in my makefiles. The
question is, will the C/C++ shared libraries used be the ones that came
w/ this new compiler, which are located in /usr/local/lib or the system
default ones in /usr/lib? What if I use -L/usr/local/lib, will that
override the use of the default libraries?
THANKS A LOT
