Description Michal Nowak 2009-10-19 11:32:00 UTC

Description of problem:

gcc --help reports about option -print-multi-os-directory

.qa.[root@x86-64-5s-m1 tps]# gcc --help | grep 'print-multi-os-directory'
  -print-multi-os-directory Display the relative path to OS libraries

and it works:

.qa.[root@x86-64-5s-m1 tps]# gcc -print-multi-os-directory
../lib64

But is not described in man page gcc(1). The only similar options in the man pages are: `-print-multi-directory' and `-print-multi-lib'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gcc-4.1.2-46.el5.x86_64

How reproducible:

always

Expected results:

Option `-print-multi-os-directory' described in man page gcc(1).

Additional info:

`-print-multi-os-directory' seems to be missing at Rawhide too.

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2009-10-21 17:18:42 UTC

Fixed upstream, will backport to 4.4-RH.

Comment 2 Jakub Jelinek 2009-11-11 10:11:49 UTC

Why have you reassigned this to gcc44?  In RHEL5 gcc man page and info pages are provided just by gcc, not gcc44, so even when it is fixed in 4.4-RH (it is), it doesn't make a difference for RHEL5.

Comment 3 Michal Nowak 2009-11-11 10:27:23 UTC

I was asked by Ondrej Hudlicky to change it from gcc to gcc44 as he have thought there won't be interest in fixing it RHEL5 gcc. If you wish I can move it back to gcc and also clone this for gcc44.

Comment 4 Jakub Jelinek 2009-11-11 10:53:10 UTC

As I said, no need to clone for gcc44, as there is nothing to fix for gcc44 in RHEL5 (and, gcc in RHEL6 has it already fixed).

Comment 5 Jakub Jelinek 2010-09-27 06:33:28 UTC

In gcc-4.1.2-49.el5
