This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The GNU Compiler Collection is free software. See the files whose names start with COPYING for copying permission. The manuals, and some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the individual source files for details. The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information as HTML and plain text. The source of this information is gcc/doc/install.texi. The installation information includes details of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs. See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it includes) for usage and porting information. An online readable version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully. Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed individually.

There were two uses for the Darwin host config fragment:
The first is to arrange for targets that support mdynamic-no-pic
to be built with that enabled (since it makes a significant
difference to the compiler performance). We can be more specific
in the application of this, since it only applies to 32b hosts
plus powerpc64-darwin9.
The second was to work around a tool bug where -fno-PIE was not
propagated to the link stage. This second use is redundant,
since the buggy toolchain cannot bootstrap current GCC sources
anyway.
This makes the host fragment more specific and reduces the number
of toolchains for which it is included which reduces clutter in
configure lines.
