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.
Fixed upstream, will backport to 4.4-RH.
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.
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.
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).
In gcc-4.1.2-49.el5
