Solaris 9
>Description:
GDB build ignores LDFLAGS and other configuration settings. Fails to adhere to GNU standards.
LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/sparc64/lib -R/usr/local/sparc64/lib' CC=gcc-64 ./configure
results in
gcc-64 -O2 -g \
-o gdb gdb.o libgdb.a \
../bfd/libbfd.a ../readline/libreadline.a ../opcodes/libopcodes.a ../libiberty/libiberty.a -ldl -lcurses -lsocket -lnsl -lm -liconv ../libiberty/libiberty.a
ld: fatal: file /usr/local/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.4.2/../../../libiconv.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to gdb
>How-To-Repeat:
Configure with extra environment parameters as described by GNU installation standards. Observe that 'make' executes additional configures without passing same options. Observe that final link does not include any user-requested linker options.
>Fix:
Pass CC, LD, LDFLAGS, LIBS, etc., to suppordinate configures and builds as per GNU coding standards.
