What's the purpose of the `--enable-ld` option of `configure`?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



With GCC 4.6 (at least) and above, `configure --help` tells there exist a
`--enable-ld` option. The reference help [1] for GCC configuration options,
makes no mention of it, and the help returned by `configure` is sparse on
this option.

As far as I know, `ld` is part of `binutils`, so do I guess right if I
believe it does not build an `ld` to be installed with GCC? If it does not
build an `ld`, what does it do? Is this an alias of `--with-gnu-ld`?

if it's not documented in [1] (and not really by `configure`), where is this
documented?
