Yea, I see these too. But there are a lot of them. And they require
one to clearly understand gcc structure to know what is getting built
where (or when?). Is the 'production' (i.e. the one that gets
installed) libgcc built in the same place as the one(s) used during
the bootstrap stages? And static versus dynamic?

Ain't not no autogen on this system. What is it? A successor to automake?

I have admittedly been hacking and chopping on various configure
script and Makefile parts and could have messed something up ... but
.....
Wait I have been defining these only when I run configure. Are you
saying I need to pass them on the actual make command?
Any thoughts on adding support for the configure machinery
{--enable-|--disable-}feature option for debug: --disable-debug.
This would save people the hassle of trying to remember when to omit
-g and from what to omit it from?
Latest 4.3.5 is 474508 KiB and took 1003 minutes. No Ada and no obj-c++.
Thanks for your time!
