Another place to look is the crosstool-ng source. http://crosstool-ng.org/hg/crosstool-ng/file/7fe58a4f79f8/scripts/build/bin utils/binutils.sh#l150 They don't seem to use enable-ld with gcc, just with binutils. If we built binutils with gold, we still need to tell gcc to use gold or ld (default). http://crosstool-ng.org/hg/crosstool-ng/file/7fe58a4f79f8/scripts/build/cc/ gcc.sh#l751 Hope that helps. > > > >-- >View this message in context: >http://gcc.1065356.n5.nabble.com/What-s-the-purpose-of-the-enable-ld-optio >n-of-configure-tp931298p931553.html >Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -Bryan
