The patch allows the gold testsuite to pass when using something like
the following configure line, which works for the rest of the binutils
testsuite. At least, it does if you don't configure your gcc with any
of the options that force a particular path to as or ld.
gccdir="/home/alan/build/gcc/prev-"
gccsrc="/home/alan/src/gcc.git"
gcctarg="x86_64-linux"
CC="${gccdir}gcc/xgcc -B${gccdir}gcc/" \
CXX="${gccdir}gcc/xg++ -B${gccdir}gcc/ -I${gccdir}$gcctarg/libstdc++-v3/include -I${gccdir}$gcctarg/libstdc++-v3/include/$gcctarg -I${gccsrc}/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++ -L${gccdir}$gcctarg/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs/" \
~/src/binutils-gdb/configure ...
gold's -Bgcctestdir/ option must come before the -B supplied by $CC
or $CXX, in order to pick up the linker we want to test. Also when
using a not-yet-installed gcc, it is necessary to provide a collect-ld
in gcctestdir/ as otherwise a collect-ld script in -B${gccdir}gcc/
will be used and the wrong linker tested.
Besides this, the patch fixes some bugs: The $COMPILE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE
edit was wrong (but worked for usual values), and the $CXXLINK_S edit
unnecessarily but harmlessly used extra backslash quoting. See
posix shell documentation regarding quoting, or
www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Command-Substitution
Also, -Bgcctestdir/ in one place makes it less likely a new test will
be added that accidentally lacks the option.
