Description cJ 2012-05-31 16:31:47 UTC

I currently need to use arm-softfloat-elf because of linkage with libraries compiled with an old RealView toolchain, and would appreciate if the default configuration could pass --enable-obsolete to the gcc ./configure.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =cross-arm-softfloat-elf/gcc-4.7.0
2. ...
3. profit!



if [ tc_version_is_at_least 4.7 && ${arm_arch%%-elf} != $arm_arch ];
then
    confgcc+=" --enable-obsolete"
fi

no need to make it dependent on versions/targets.  just pass it all the time.
