A patch for shared libgcc

["H . J . Lu" <hjl at lucon dot org>]

Here is my proposal for shared libgcc. For the time being, libgcc is
an add-on. I am still working on a gcc patch to help building shared
libgcc. I'd like to add a few things to the gcc driver:

1. gcc -dumprelease should print

3.0|3.0-20010322

i.e., the string in version.c to uniquely identify the version of gcc.

2. gcc should install libgcc.map along with libgcc.a even if
libgcc_s.so.0 is not built.

3. gcc -build-shared-libgcc should build libgcc_s.so.0 automatically
from libgcc.a and libgcc.map. Should it build

libgcc_s-`gcc -dumprelease'.so

instead of libgcc_s.so.0? We can drop it into /lib and run ldconfig.
It will help installation.

The libgcc add-on will take advantage of them. BTW, with #3, building
libgcc_s.so.0 from an install gcc will be trivial. Installing it is
entirely a different matter.

Any comments?

Thanks.

	* aclocal.m4 (AC_CHECK_LIBGCC_VER): New.

	* config.make.in (build-shared-libgcc): New.

	* configure.in (shared_libgcc): New. Set if libgcc is enabled
	as an add-on. Check with AC_CHECK_LIBGCC_VER.
	* configure: Rebuild.

	* Makeconfig (rpath-dirs): Add libgcc if $(build-shared-libgcc)
	is yes.
	(all-subdirs): Filter out libgcc if $(build-shared-libgcc) is
	not yes.

	* Makerules (LDFLAGS-c.so): Make libgcc_s.so as the auxiliary
	filter for libc.so if $(build-shared-libgcc) is yes.
