gcc patch for version from OpenSUSE none

Description Dave Johansen 2017-01-05 15:42:07 UTC 
g++ -print-file-name=plugin uses the full version number in the path when just the major version number is all that's required for compatibility. This means that plugins have to require the specific version of gcc and have to be rebuild after every update to gcc. For what it's worth, gcc on Ubuntu only uses the major version number ( see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1408943#c9 ).
Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2017-01-05 15:55:25 UTC 
That is the standard behavior of gcc.  Ubuntu+SuSE use some hack that has never been submitted upstream.

gcc patch for version from OpenSUSE

I attached the patch from OpenSUSE that I believe is changing the directory. Can that be flowed upstream?
Comment 4 Dave Johansen 2017-01-10 17:25:31 UTC 
I opened a bugzilla for gcc.
Comment 5 MM 2017-02-25 17:05:48 UTC 
Just curious here, was there some progress?
Comment 6 Dave Johansen 2017-02-26 05:50:30 UTC 
gcc 7 in Fedora Rawhide (26) now just uses the major version as the plugin path. You can see the details in the linked to gcc bugzilla.
Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 10:53:06 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.
