<h1 class="settitle">Installing GCC: Configuration</h1>
<a name="index-Configuration-1"></a><a name="index-Installing-GCC_003a-Configuration-2"></a>
Like most GNU software, GCC must be configured before it can be built.
This document describes the recommended configuration procedure
for both native and cross targets.

   <p>We use <var>srcdir</var> to refer to the toplevel source directory for
GCC; we use <var>objdir</var> to refer to the toplevel build/object directory.

   <p>If you obtained the sources via SVN, <var>srcdir</var> must refer to the top
<samp><span class="file">gcc</span></samp> directory, the one where the <samp><span class="file">MAINTAINERS</span></samp> file can be
found, and not its <samp><span class="file">gcc</span></samp> subdirectory, otherwise the build will fail.

   <p>If either <var>srcdir</var> or <var>objdir</var> is located on an automounted NFS
file system, the shell's built-in <samp><span class="command">pwd</span></samp> command will return
temporary pathnames.  Using these can lead to various sorts of build
problems.  To avoid this issue, set the <samp><span class="env">PWDCMD</span></samp> environment
variable to an automounter-aware <samp><span class="command">pwd</span></samp> command, e.g.,
<samp><span class="command">pawd</span></samp> or &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">amq -w</span></samp>&rsquo;, during the configuration and build
phases.

   <p>First, we <strong>highly</strong> recommend that GCC be built into a
separate directory from the sources which does <strong>not</strong> reside
within the source tree.  This is how we generally build GCC; building
where <var>srcdir</var> == <var>objdir</var> should still work, but doesn't
get extensive testing; building where <var>objdir</var> is a subdirectory
of <var>srcdir</var> is unsupported.

   <p>If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a
different target machine, do &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">make distclean</span></samp>&rsquo; to delete all files
that might be invalid.  One of the files this deletes is <samp><span class="file">Makefile</span></samp>;
if &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">make distclean</span></samp>&rsquo; complains that <samp><span class="file">Makefile</span></samp> does not exist
or issues a message like &ldquo;don't know how to make distclean&rdquo; it probably
means that the directory is already suitably clean.  However, with the
recommended method of building in a separate <var>objdir</var>, you should
simply use a different <var>objdir</var> for each target.

   <p>Second, when configuring a native system, either <samp><span class="command">cc</span></samp> or
<samp><span class="command">gcc</span></samp> must be in your path or you must set <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> in
your environment before running configure.  Otherwise the configuration
scripts may fail.

   <p>To configure GCC:

<pre class="smallexample">     % mkdir <var>objdir</var>
     % cd <var>objdir</var>
     % <var>srcdir</var>/configure [<var>options</var>] [<var>target</var>]
</pre>
   <h3 class="heading"><a name="TOC0"></a>Distributor options</h3>

<p>If you will be distributing binary versions of GCC, with modifications
to the source code, you should use the options described in this
section to make clear that your version contains modifications.

     <dl>
<dt><code>--with-pkgversion=</code><var>version</var><dd>Specify a string that identifies your package.  You may wish
to include a build number or build date.  This version string will be
included in the output of <samp><span class="command">gcc --version</span></samp>.  This suffix does
not replace the default version string, only the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">GCC</span></samp>&rsquo; part.

     <p>The default value is &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">GCC</span></samp>&rsquo;.

     <br><dt><code>--with-bugurl=</code><var>url</var><dd>Specify the URL that users should visit if they wish to report a bug.
You are of course welcome to forward bugs reported to you to the FSF,
if you determine that they are not bugs in your modifications.

     <p>The default value refers to the FSF's GCC bug tracker.

   </dl>

<h3 class="heading"><a name="TOC1"></a>Target specification</h3>

     <ul>
<li>GCC has code to correctly determine the correct value for <var>target</var>
for nearly all native systems.  Therefore, we highly recommend you do
not provide a configure target when configuring a native compiler.

     <li><var>target</var> must be specified as <samp><span class="option">--target=</span><var>target</var></samp>
when configuring a cross compiler; examples of valid targets would be
m68k-elf, sh-elf, etc.

     <li>Specifying just <var>target</var> instead of <samp><span class="option">--target=</span><var>target</var></samp>
implies that the host defaults to <var>target</var>.
</ul>

<h3 class="heading"><a name="TOC2"></a>Options specification</h3>

<p>Use <var>options</var> to override several configure time options for
GCC.  A list of supported <var>options</var> follows; &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">configure
--help</span></samp>&rsquo; may list other options, but those not listed below may not
work and should not normally be used.

   <p>Note that each <samp><span class="option">--enable</span></samp> option has a corresponding
<samp><span class="option">--disable</span></samp> option and that each <samp><span class="option">--with</span></samp> option has a
corresponding <samp><span class="option">--without</span></samp> option.

     <dl>
<dt><code>--prefix=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the toplevel installation
directory.  This is the recommended way to install the tools into a directory
other than the default.  The toplevel installation directory defaults to
<samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp>.

     <p>We <strong>highly</strong> recommend against <var>dirname</var> being the same or a
subdirectory of <var>objdir</var> or vice versa.  If specifying a directory
beneath a user's home directory tree, some shells will not expand
<var>dirname</var> correctly if it contains the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">~</span></samp>&rsquo; metacharacter; use
<samp><span class="env">$HOME</span></samp> instead.

     <p>The following standard <samp><span class="command">autoconf</span></samp> options are supported.  Normally you
should not need to use these options.
          <dl>
<dt><code>--exec-prefix=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the toplevel installation directory for architecture-dependent
files.  The default is <samp><var>prefix</var></samp>.

          <br><dt><code>--bindir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for the executables called by users
(such as <samp><span class="command">gcc</span></samp> and <samp><span class="command">g++</span></samp>).  The default is
<samp><var>exec-prefix</var><span class="file">/bin</span></samp>.

          <br><dt><code>--libdir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for object code libraries and
internal data files of GCC.  The default is <samp><var>exec-prefix</var><span class="file">/lib</span></samp>.

          <br><dt><code>--libexecdir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for internal executables of GCC.
The default is <samp><var>exec-prefix</var><span class="file">/libexec</span></samp>.

          <br><dt><code>--with-slibdir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for the shared libgcc library.  The
default is <samp><var>libdir</var></samp>.

          <br><dt><code>--datarootdir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the root of the directory tree for read-only architecture-independent
data files referenced by GCC.  The default is <samp><var>prefix</var><span class="file">/share</span></samp>.

          <br><dt><code>--infodir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for documentation in info format.
The default is <samp><var>datarootdir</var><span class="file">/info</span></samp>.

          <br><dt><code>--datadir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for some architecture-independent
data files referenced by GCC.  The default is <samp><var>datarootdir</var></samp>.

          <br><dt><code>--docdir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for documentation files (other
than Info) for GCC.  The default is <samp><var>datarootdir</var><span class="file">/doc</span></samp>.

          <br><dt><code>--htmldir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for HTML documentation files.
The default is <samp><var>docdir</var></samp>.

          <br><dt><code>--pdfdir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for PDF documentation files.
The default is <samp><var>docdir</var></samp>.

          <br><dt><code>--mandir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for manual pages.  The default is
<samp><var>datarootdir</var><span class="file">/man</span></samp>.  (Note that the manual pages are only extracts
from the full GCC manuals, which are provided in Texinfo format.  The manpages
are derived by an automatic conversion process from parts of the full
manual.)

          <br><dt><code>--with-gxx-include-dir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify
the installation directory for G++ header files.  The default depends
on other configuration options, and differs between cross and native
configurations.

          <br><dt><code>--with-specs=</code><var>specs</var><dd>Specify additional command line driver SPECS.
This can be useful if you need to turn on a non-standard feature by
default without modifying the compiler's source code, for instance
<samp><span class="option">--with-specs=%{!fcommon:%{!fno-common:-fno-common}}</span></samp>.
See &ldquo;Spec Files&rdquo; in the main manual

     </dl>

     <br><dt><code>--program-prefix=</code><var>prefix</var><dd>GCC supports some transformations of the names of its programs when
installing them.  This option prepends <var>prefix</var> to the names of
programs to install in <var>bindir</var> (see above).  For example, specifying
<samp><span class="option">--program-prefix=foo-</span></samp> would result in &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">gcc</span></samp>&rsquo;
being installed as <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/foo-gcc</span></samp>.

     <br><dt><code>--program-suffix=</code><var>suffix</var><dd>Appends <var>suffix</var> to the names of programs to install in <var>bindir</var>
(see above).  For example, specifying <samp><span class="option">--program-suffix=-3.1</span></samp>
would result in &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">gcc</span></samp>&rsquo; being installed as
<samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/gcc-3.1</span></samp>.

     <br><dt><code>--program-transform-name=</code><var>pattern</var><dd>Applies the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">sed</span></samp>&rsquo; script <var>pattern</var> to be applied to the names
of programs to install in <var>bindir</var> (see above).  <var>pattern</var> has to
consist of one or more basic &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">sed</span></samp>&rsquo; editing commands, separated by
semicolons.  For example, if you want the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">gcc</span></samp>&rsquo; program name to be
transformed to the installed program <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/myowngcc</span></samp> and
the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">g++</span></samp>&rsquo; program name to be transformed to
<samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/gspecial++</span></samp> without changing other program names,
you could use the pattern
<samp><span class="option">--program-transform-name='s/^gcc$/myowngcc/; s/^g++$/gspecial++/'</span></samp>
to achieve this effect.

     <p>All three options can be combined and used together, resulting in more
complex conversion patterns.  As a basic rule, <var>prefix</var> (and
<var>suffix</var>) are prepended (appended) before further transformations
can happen with a special transformation script <var>pattern</var>.

     <p>As currently implemented, this option only takes effect for native
builds; cross compiler binaries' names are not transformed even when a
transformation is explicitly asked for by one of these options.

     <p>For native builds, some of the installed programs are also installed
with the target alias in front of their name, as in
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc</span></samp>&rsquo;.  All of the above transformations happen
before the target alias is prepended to the name&mdash;so, specifying
<samp><span class="option">--program-prefix=foo-</span></samp> and <samp><span class="option">program-suffix=-3.1</span></samp>, the
resulting binary would be installed as
<samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-foo-gcc-3.1</span></samp>.

     <p>As a last shortcoming, none of the installed Ada programs are
transformed yet, which will be fixed in some time.

     <br><dt><code>--with-local-prefix=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the
installation directory for local include files.  The default is
<samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp>.  Specify this option if you want the compiler to
search directory <samp><var>dirname</var><span class="file">/include</span></samp> for locally installed
header files <em>instead</em> of <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/include</span></samp>.

     <p>You should specify <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> <strong>only</strong> if your
site has a different convention (not <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp>) for where to put
site-specific files.

     <p>The default value for <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> is <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp>
regardless of the value of <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp>.  Specifying
<samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> has no effect on which directory GCC searches for
local header files.  This may seem counterintuitive, but actually it is
logical.

     <p>The purpose of <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> is to specify where to <em>install
GCC</em>.  The local header files in <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/include</span></samp>&mdash;if you put
any in that directory&mdash;are not part of GCC.  They are part of other
programs&mdash;perhaps many others.  (GCC installs its own header files in
another directory which is based on the <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> value.)

     <p>Both the local-prefix include directory and the GCC-prefix include
directory are part of GCC's &ldquo;system include&rdquo; directories.  Although these
two directories are not fixed, they need to be searched in the proper
order for the correct processing of the include_next directive.  The
local-prefix include directory is searched before the GCC-prefix
include directory.  Another characteristic of system include directories
is that pedantic warnings are turned off for headers in these directories.

     <p>Some autoconf macros add <samp><span class="option">-I </span><var>directory</var></samp> options to the
compiler command line, to ensure that directories containing installed
packages' headers are searched.  When <var>directory</var> is one of GCC's
system include directories, GCC will ignore the option so that system
directories continue to be processed in the correct order.  This
may result in a search order different from what was specified but the
directory will still be searched.

     <p>GCC automatically searches for ordinary libraries using
<samp><span class="env">GCC_EXEC_PREFIX</span></samp>.  Thus, when the same installation prefix is
used for both GCC and packages, GCC will automatically search for
both headers and libraries.  This provides a configuration that is
easy to use.  GCC behaves in a manner similar to that when it is
installed as a system compiler in <samp><span class="file">/usr</span></samp>.

     <p>Sites that need to install multiple versions of GCC may not want to
use the above simple configuration.  It is possible to use the
<samp><span class="option">--program-prefix</span></samp>, <samp><span class="option">--program-suffix</span></samp> and
<samp><span class="option">--program-transform-name</span></samp> options to install multiple versions
into a single directory, but it may be simpler to use different prefixes
and the <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> option to specify the location of the
site-specific files for each version.  It will then be necessary for
users to specify explicitly the location of local site libraries
(e.g., with <samp><span class="env">LIBRARY_PATH</span></samp>).

     <p>The same value can be used for both <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> and
<samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> provided it is not <samp><span class="file">/usr</span></samp>.  This can be used
to avoid the default search of <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/include</span></samp>.

     <p><strong>Do not</strong> specify <samp><span class="file">/usr</span></samp> as the <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp>!
The directory you use for <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> <strong>must not</strong>
contain any of the system's standard header files.  If it did contain
them, certain programs would be miscompiled (including GNU Emacs, on
certain targets), because this would override and nullify the header
file corrections made by the <samp><span class="command">fixincludes</span></samp> script.

     <p>Indications are that people who use this option use it based on mistaken
ideas of what it is for.  People use it as if it specified where to
install part of GCC.  Perhaps they make this assumption because
installing GCC creates the directory.

     <br><dt><code>--with-native-system-header-dir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specifies that <var>dirname</var> is the directory that contains native system
header files, rather than <samp><span class="file">/usr/include</span></samp>.  This option is most useful
if you are creating a compiler that should be isolated from the system
as much as possible.  It is most commonly used with the
<samp><span class="option">--with-sysroot</span></samp> option and will cause GCC to search
<var>dirname</var> inside the system root specified by that option.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-shared[=</code><var>package</var><code>[,...]]</code><dd>Build shared versions of libraries, if shared libraries are supported on
the target platform.  Unlike GCC 2.95.x and earlier, shared libraries
are enabled by default on all platforms that support shared libraries.

     <p>If a list of packages is given as an argument, build shared libraries
only for the listed packages.  For other packages, only static libraries
will be built.  Package names currently recognized in the GCC tree are
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libgcc</span></samp>&rsquo; (also known as &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">gcc</span></samp>&rsquo;), &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libstdc++</span></samp>&rsquo; (not
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libstdc++-v3</span></samp>&rsquo;), &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libffi</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">zlib</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">boehm-gc</span></samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">ada</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libada</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libjava</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libgo</span></samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libobjc</span></samp>&rsquo;.
Note &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libiberty</span></samp>&rsquo; does not support shared libraries at all.

     <p>Use <samp><span class="option">--disable-shared</span></samp> to build only static libraries.  Note that
<samp><span class="option">--disable-shared</span></samp> does not accept a list of package names as
argument, only <samp><span class="option">--enable-shared</span></samp> does.

     <p>Contrast with <samp><span class="option">--enable-host-shared</span></samp>, which affects <em>host</em>
code.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-host-shared</code><dd>Specify that the <em>host</em> code should be built into position-independent
machine code (with -fPIC), allowing it to be used within shared libraries,
but yielding a slightly slower compiler.

     <p>This option is required when building the libgccjit.so library.

     <p>Contrast with <samp><span class="option">--enable-shared</span></samp>, which affects <em>target</em>
libraries.

     <br><dt><code><a name="with_002dgnu_002das"></a>--with-gnu-as</code><dd>Specify that the compiler should assume that the
assembler it finds is the GNU assembler.  However, this does not modify
the rules to find an assembler and will result in confusion if the
assembler found is not actually the GNU assembler.  (Confusion may also
result if the compiler finds the GNU assembler but has not been
configured with <samp><span class="option">--with-gnu-as</span></samp>.)  If you have more than one
assembler installed on your system, you may want to use this option in
connection with <samp><span class="option">--with-as=</span><var>pathname</var></samp> or
<samp><span class="option">--with-build-time-tools=</span><var>pathname</var></samp>.

     <p>The following systems are the only ones where it makes a difference
whether you use the GNU assembler.  On any other system,
<samp><span class="option">--with-gnu-as</span></samp> has no effect.

          <ul>
<li>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">hppa1.0-</span><var>any</var><span class="samp">-</span><var>any</var></samp>&rsquo;
<li>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">hppa1.1-</span><var>any</var><span class="samp">-</span><var>any</var></samp>&rsquo;
<li>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">sparc-sun-solaris2.</span><var>any</var></samp>&rsquo;
<li>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">sparc64-</span><var>any</var><span class="samp">-solaris2.</span><var>any</var></samp>&rsquo;
</ul>

     <br><dt><code><a name="with_002das"></a>--with-as=</code><var>pathname</var><dd>Specify that the compiler should use the assembler pointed to by
<var>pathname</var>, rather than the one found by the standard rules to find
an assembler, which are:
          <ul>
<li>Unless GCC is being built with a cross compiler, check the
<samp><var>libexec</var><span class="file">/gcc/</span><var>target</var><span class="file">/</span><var>version</var></samp> directory.
<var>libexec</var> defaults to <samp><var>exec-prefix</var><span class="file">/libexec</span></samp>;
<var>exec-prefix</var> defaults to <var>prefix</var>, which
defaults to <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp> unless overridden by the
<samp><span class="option">--prefix=</span><var>pathname</var></samp> switch described above.  <var>target</var>
is the target system triple, such as &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">sparc-sun-solaris2.7</span></samp>&rsquo;, and
<var>version</var> denotes the GCC version, such as 3.0.

          <li>If the target system is the same that you are building on, check
operating system specific directories (e.g. <samp><span class="file">/usr/ccs/bin</span></samp> on
Sun Solaris 2).

          <li>Check in the <samp><span class="env">PATH</span></samp> for a tool whose name is prefixed by the
target system triple.

          <li>Check in the <samp><span class="env">PATH</span></samp> for a tool whose name is not prefixed by the
target system triple, if the host and target system triple are
the same (in other words, we use a host tool if it can be used for
the target as well).
</ul>

     <p>You may want to use <samp><span class="option">--with-as</span></samp> if no assembler
is installed in the directories listed above, or if you have multiple
assemblers installed and want to choose one that is not found by the
above rules.

     <br><dt><code><a name="with_002dgnu_002dld"></a>--with-gnu-ld</code><dd>Same as <a href="#with-gnu-as"><samp><span class="option">--with-gnu-as</span></samp></a>
but for the linker.

     <br><dt><code>--with-ld=</code><var>pathname</var><dd>Same as <a href="#with-as"><samp><span class="option">--with-as</span></samp></a>
but for the linker.

     <br><dt><code>--with-stabs</code><dd>Specify that stabs debugging
information should be used instead of whatever format the host normally
uses.  Normally GCC uses the same debug format as the host system.

     <p>On MIPS based systems and on Alphas, you must specify whether you want
GCC to create the normal ECOFF debugging format, or to use BSD-style
stabs passed through the ECOFF symbol table.  The normal ECOFF debug
format cannot fully handle languages other than C.  BSD stabs format can
handle other languages, but it only works with the GNU debugger GDB.

     <p>Normally, GCC uses the ECOFF debugging format by default; if you
prefer BSD stabs, specify <samp><span class="option">--with-stabs</span></samp> when you configure GCC.

     <p>No matter which default you choose when you configure GCC, the user
can use the <samp><span class="option">-gcoff</span></samp> and <samp><span class="option">-gstabs+</span></samp> options to specify explicitly
the debug format for a particular compilation.

     <p><samp><span class="option">--with-stabs</span></samp> is meaningful on the ISC system on the 386, also, if
<samp><span class="option">--with-gas</span></samp> is used.  It selects use of stabs debugging
information embedded in COFF output.  This kind of debugging information
supports C++ well; ordinary COFF debugging information does not.

     <p><samp><span class="option">--with-stabs</span></samp> is also meaningful on 386 systems running SVR4.  It
selects use of stabs debugging information embedded in ELF output.  The
C++ compiler currently (2.6.0) does not support the DWARF debugging
information normally used on 386 SVR4 platforms; stabs provide a
workable alternative.  This requires gas and gdb, as the normal SVR4
tools can not generate or interpret stabs.

     <br><dt><code>--with-tls=</code><var>dialect</var><dd>Specify the default TLS dialect, for systems were there is a choice.
For ARM targets, possible values for <var>dialect</var> are <code>gnu</code> or
<code>gnu2</code>, which select between the original GNU dialect and the GNU TLS
descriptor-based dialect.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-multiarch</code><dd>Specify whether to enable or disable multiarch support.  The default is
to check for glibc start files in a multiarch location, and enable it
if the files are found.  The auto detection is enabled for native builds,
and for cross builds configured with <samp><span class="option">--with-sysroot</span></samp>, and without
<samp><span class="option">--with-native-system-header-dir</span></samp>.

Only use this option if you are sure you need a different setting.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-vtable-verify</code><dd>Specify whether to enable or disable the vtable verification feature.
Enabling this feature causes libstdc++ to be built with its virtual calls
in verifiable mode.  This means that, when linked with libvtv, every
virtual call in libstdc++ will verify the vtable pointer through which the
call will be made before actually making the call.  If not linked with libvtv,
the verifier will call stub functions (in libstdc++ itself) and do nothing.
If vtable verification is disabled, then libstdc++ is not built with its
virtual calls in verifiable mode at all.  However the libvtv library will
still be built (see <samp><span class="option">--disable-libvtv</span></samp> to turn off building libvtv).
<samp><span class="option">--disable-vtable-verify</span></samp> is the default.

     <br><dt><code>--disable-multilib</code><dd>Specify that multiple target

these are handled by <samp><span class="option">--with-endian</span></samp>.

          <p>If <var>list</var> is empty, then there will be no multilibs for extra
processors.  The multilib for the secondary endian remains enabled.

          <p>As a special case, if an entry in the list starts with a <code>!</code>

Entries of this sort should be compatible with &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">MULTILIB_EXCLUDES</span></samp>&rsquo;

On some systems, this is the default.

     <p>In general, the best (and, in many cases, the only known) threading

configure can correctly determine if TLS is supported.  In cases where
it guesses incorrectly, TLS can be explicitly enabled or disabled with
<samp><span class="option">--enable-tls</span></samp> or <samp><span class="option">--disable-tls</span></samp>.  This can happen if
the assembler supports TLS but the C library does not, or if the

the o32 ABI.

     <br><dt><code>--without-odd-spreg-32</code><dd>On MIPS targets, set the <samp><span class="option">-mno-odd-spreg</span></samp> option by default when using
the o32 ABI.  This is normally used in conjunction with
<samp><span class="option">--with-fp-32=64</span></samp> in order to target the o32 FP64A ABI extension.

     <br><dt><code>--with-nan=</code><var>encoding</var><dd>On MIPS targets, set the default encoding convention to use for the

     <!-- If you make -with-llsc the default for additional targets, -->
     <!-- update the -with-llsc description in the MIPS section below. -->
     <br><dt><code>--with-llsc</code><dd>On MIPS targets, make <samp><span class="option">-mllsc</span></samp> the default when no

<samp><span class="option">-msynci</span></samp> option is passed.  This is the default.

     <br><dt><code>--with-mips-plt</code><dd>On MIPS targets, make use of copy relocations and PLTs.
These features are extensions to the traditional
SVR4-based MIPS ABIs and require support from GNU binutils
and the runtime C library.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-__cxa_atexit</code><dd>Define if you want to use __cxa_atexit, rather than atexit, to
register C++ destructors for local statics and global objects.
This is essential for fully standards-compliant handling of
destructors, but requires __cxa_atexit in libc.  This option is currently
only available on systems with GNU libc.  When enabled, this will cause
<samp><span class="option">-fuse-cxa-atexit</span></samp> to be passed by default.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-gnu-indirect-function</code><dd>Define if you want to enable the <code>ifunc</code> attribute.  This option is
currently only available on systems with GNU libc on certain targets.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-target-optspace</code><dd>Specify that target
libraries should be optimized for code space instead of code speed.
This is the default for the m32r platform.

     <br><dt><code>--with-cpp-install-dir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify that the user visible <samp><span class="command">cpp</span></samp> program should be installed

(instead of <code>.init</code> and <code>.fini</code>) for constructors and
destructors.  Option <samp><span class="option">--disable-initfini-array</span></samp> has the
opposite effect.  If neither option is specified, the configure script
will try to guess whether the <code>.init_array</code> and
<code>.fini_array</code> sections are supported and, if they are, use them.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-link-mutex</code><dd>When building GCC, use a mutex to avoid linking the compilers for
multiple languages at the same time, to avoid thrashing on build
systems with limited free memory.  The default is not to use such a mutex.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-maintainer-mode</code><dd>The build rules that regenerate the Autoconf and Automake output files as
well as the GCC master message catalog <samp><span class="file">gcc.pot</span></samp> are normally
disabled.  This is because it can only be rebuilt if the complete source
tree is present.  If you have changed the sources and want to rebuild the
catalog, configuring with <samp><span class="option">--enable-maintainer-mode</span></samp> will enable
this.  Note that you need a recent version of the <code>gettext</code> tools
to do so.

     <br><dt><code>--disable-bootstrap</code><dd>For a native build, the default configuration is to perform
a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler when &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">make</span></samp>&rsquo; is invoked,
testing that GCC can compile itself correctly.  If you want to disable
this process, you can configure with <samp><span class="option">--disable-bootstrap</span></samp>.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-bootstrap</code><dd>In special cases, you may want to perform a 3-stage build
even if the target and host triplets are different.
This is possible when the host can run code compiled for
the target (e.g. host is i686-linux, target is i486-linux).
Starting from GCC 4.2, to do this you have to configure explicitly
with <samp><span class="option">--enable-bootstrap</span></samp>.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-generated-files-in-srcdir</code><dd>Neither the .c and .h files that are generated from Bison and flex nor the
info manuals and man pages that are built from the .texi files are present
in the SVN development tree.  When building GCC from that development tree,
or from one of our snapshots, those generated files are placed in your
build directory, which allows for the source to be in a readonly
directory.

     <p>If you configure with <samp><span class="option">--enable-generated-files-in-srcdir</span></samp> then those
generated files will go into the source directory.  This is mainly intended
for generating release or prerelease tarballs of the GCC sources, since it
is not a requirement that the users of source releases to have flex, Bison,
or makeinfo.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-version-specific-runtime-libs</code><dd>Specify
that runtime libraries should be installed in the compiler specific
subdirectory (<samp><var>libdir</var><span class="file">/gcc</span></samp>) rather than the usual places.  In
addition, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libstdc++</span></samp>&rsquo;'s include files will be installed into
<samp><var>libdir</var></samp> unless you overruled it by using
<samp><span class="option">--with-gxx-include-dir=</span><var>dirname</var></samp>.  Using this option is
particularly useful if you intend to use several versions of GCC in
parallel.  This is currently supported by &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libgfortran</span></samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libjava</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libstdc++</span></samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libobjc</span></samp>&rsquo;.

These are compilers that are able to generate either 64-bit or 32-bit
code.  Typically, the corresponding 32-bit target, e.g.
powerpc-linux for powerpc64-linux, only generates 32-bit code.  This
option enables the 32-bit target to be a bi-arch compiler, which is
useful when you want a bi-arch compiler that defaults to 32-bit, and
you are building a bi-arch or multi-arch binutils in a combined tree.
On mips-linux, this will build a tri-arch compiler (ABI o32/n32/64),
defaulted to o32.
Currently, this option only affects sparc-linux, powerpc-linux, x86-linux,

If you don't specify it, <samp><span class="option">-Werror</span></samp> is turned on for the main
development trunk.  However it defaults to off for release branches and
final releases.  The specific files which get <samp><span class="option">-Werror</span></samp> are
controlled by the Makefiles.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-checking</code><dt><code>--enable-checking=</code><var>list</var><dd>When you specify this option, the compiler is built to perform internal
consistency checks of the requested complexity.  This does not change the
generated code, but adds error checking within the compiler.  This will
slow down the compiler and may only work properly if you are building
the compiler with GCC.  This is &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">yes</span></samp>&rsquo; by default when building
from SVN or snapshots, but &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">release</span></samp>&rsquo; for releases.  The default
for building the stage1 compiler is &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">yes</span></samp>&rsquo;.  More control
over the checks may be had by specifying <var>list</var>.  The categories of
checks available are &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">yes</span></samp>&rsquo; (most common checks
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">assert,misc,tree,gc,rtlflag,runtime</span></samp>&rsquo;), &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">no</span></samp>&rsquo; (no checks at

To disable all checking, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">--disable-checking</span></samp>&rsquo; or
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">--enable-checking=none</span></samp>&rsquo; must be explicitly requested.  Disabling

<h4 class="subheading"><a name="TOC3"></a>Cross-Compiler-Specific Options</h4>

<p>The following options only apply to building cross compilers.

     <dl>
<dt><code>--with-sysroot</code><dt><code>--with-sysroot=</code><var>dir</var><dd>Tells GCC to consider <var>dir</var> as the root of a tree that contains
(a subset of) the root filesystem of the target operating system.
Target system headers, libraries and run-time object files will be
searched for in there.  More specifically, this acts as if
<samp><span class="option">--sysroot=</span><var>dir</var></samp> was added to the default options of the built
compiler.  The specified directory is not copied into the
install tree, unlike the options <samp><span class="option">--with-headers</span></samp> and
<samp><span class="option">--with-libs</span></samp> that this option obsoletes.  The default value,
in case <samp><span class="option">--with-sysroot</span></samp> is not given an argument, is
<samp><span class="option">${gcc_tooldir}/sys-root</span></samp>.  If the specified directory is a
subdirectory of <samp><span class="option">${exec_prefix}</span></samp>, then it will be found relative to
the GCC binaries if the installation tree is moved.

     <p>This option affects the system root for the compiler used to build
target libraries (which runs on the build system) and the compiler newly
installed with <code>make install</code>; it does not affect the compiler which is
used to build GCC itself.

     <p>If you specify the <samp><span class="option">--with-native-system-header-dir=</span><var>dirname</var></samp>
option then the compiler will search that directory within <var>dirname</var> for
native system headers rather than the default <samp><span class="file">/usr/include</span></samp>.

     <br><dt><code>--with-build-sysroot</code><dt><code>--with-build-sysroot=</code><var>dir</var><dd>Tells GCC to consider <var>dir</var> as the system root (see
<samp><span class="option">--with-sysroot</span></samp>) while building target libraries, instead of
the directory specified with <samp><span class="option">--with-sysroot</span></samp>.  This option is
only useful when you are already using <samp><span class="option">--with-sysroot</span></samp>.  You
can use <samp><span class="option">--with-build-sysroot</span></samp> when you are configuring with
<samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> set to a directory that is different from the one in
which you are installing GCC and your target libraries.

     <p>This option affects the system root for the compiler used to build
target libraries (which runs on the build system); it does not affect
the compiler which is used to build GCC itself.

     <p>If you specify the <samp><span class="option">--with-native-system-header-dir=</span><var>dirname</var></samp>
option then the compiler will search that directory within <var>dirname</var> for
native system headers rather than the default <samp><span class="file">/usr/include</span></samp>.

     <br><dt><code>--with-headers</code><dt><code>--with-headers=</code><var>dir</var><dd>Deprecated in favor of <samp><span class="option">--with-sysroot</span></samp>.
Specifies that target headers are available when building a cross compiler.
The <var>dir</var> argument specifies a directory which has the target include
files.  These include files will be copied into the <samp><span class="file">gcc</span></samp> install
directory.  <em>This option with the </em><var>dir</var><em> argument is required</em> when
building a cross compiler, if <samp><var>prefix</var><span class="file">/</span><var>target</var><span class="file">/sys-include</span></samp>
doesn't pre-exist.  If <samp><var>prefix</var><span class="file">/</span><var>target</var><span class="file">/sys-include</span></samp> does
pre-exist, the <var>dir</var> argument may be omitted.  <samp><span class="command">fixincludes</span></samp>
will be run on these files to make them compatible with GCC.

     <br><dt><code>--without-headers</code><dd>Tells GCC not use any target headers from a libc when building a cross
compiler.  When crossing to GNU/Linux, you need the headers so GCC
can build the exception handling for libgcc.

     <br><dt><code>--with-libs</code><dt><code>--with-libs="</code><var>dir1</var> <var>dir2</var><code> ... </code><var>dirN</var><code>"</code><dd>Deprecated in favor of <samp><span class="option">--with-sysroot</span></samp>.
Specifies a list of directories which contain the target runtime
libraries.  These libraries will be copied into the <samp><span class="file">gcc</span></samp> install
directory.  If the directory list is omitted, this option has no
effect.

     <br><dt><code>--with-newlib</code><dd>Specifies that &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">newlib</span></samp>&rsquo; is
being used as the target C library.  This causes <code>__eprintf</code> to be
omitted from <samp><span class="file">libgcc.a</span></samp> on the assumption that it will be provided by
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">newlib</span></samp>&rsquo;.

     <br><dt><code>--with-avrlibc</code><dd>Specifies that &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">AVR-Libc</span></samp>&rsquo; is
being used as the target C library.  This causes float support
functions like <code>__addsf3</code> to be omitted from <samp><span class="file">libgcc.a</span></samp> on
the assumption that it will be provided by <samp><span class="file">libm.a</span></samp>.  For more
technical details, cf. <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/PR54461">PR54461</a>.
This option is only supported for the AVR target.  It is not supported for
RTEMS configurations, which currently use newlib.  The option is
supported since version 4.7.2 and is the default in 4.8.0 and newer.

     <br><dt><code>--with-nds32-lib=</code><var>library</var><dd>Specifies that <var>library</var> setting is used for building <samp><span class="file">libgcc.a</span></samp>.
Currently, the valid <var>library</var> is &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">newlib</span></samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">mculib</span></samp>&rsquo;.
This option is only supported for the NDS32 target.

     <br><dt><code>--with-build-time-tools=</code><var>dir</var><dd>Specifies where to find the set of target tools (assembler, linker, etc.)
that will be used while building GCC itself.  This option can be useful
if the directory layouts are different between the system you are building
GCC on, and the system where you will deploy it.

     <p>For example, on an &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">ia64-hp-hpux</span></samp>&rsquo; system, you may have the GNU
assembler and linker in <samp><span class="file">/usr/bin</span></samp>, and the native tools in a
different path, and build a toolchain that expects to find the
native tools in <samp><span class="file">/usr/bin</span></samp>.

     <p>When you use this option, you should ensure that <var>dir</var> includes
<samp><span class="command">ar</span></samp>, <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp>, <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp>, <samp><span class="command">nm</span></samp>,
<samp><span class="command">ranlib</span></samp> and <samp><span class="command">strip</span></samp> if necessary, and possibly
<samp><span class="command">objdump</span></samp>.  Otherwise, GCC may use an inconsistent set of
tools.

<h5 class="subsubheading"><a name="TOC4"></a>Overriding <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> test results</h5>

<p>Sometimes, it might be necessary to override the result of some
<samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> test, for example in order to ease porting to a new
system or work around a bug in a test.  The toplevel <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp>
script provides three variables for this:

     <dl>
<dt><code>build_configargs</code><dd><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007bbuild_005fconfigargs_007d-3"></a>The contents of this variable is passed to all build <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp>
scripts.

     <br><dt><code>host_configargs</code><dd><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007bhost_005fconfigargs_007d-4"></a>The contents of this variable is passed to all host <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp>
scripts.

     <br><dt><code>target_configargs</code><dd><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007btarget_005fconfigargs_007d-5"></a>The contents of this variable is passed to all target <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp>
scripts.

   </dl>

   <p>In order to avoid shell and <samp><span class="command">make</span></samp> quoting issues for complex
overrides, you can pass a setting for <samp><span class="env">CONFIG_SITE</span></samp> and set
variables in the site file.

<h4 class="subheading"><a name="TOC5"></a>Java-Specific Options</h4>

<p>The following option applies to the build of the Java front end.

     <dl>
<dt><code>--disable-libgcj</code><dd>Specify that the run-time libraries
used by GCJ should not be built.  This is useful in case you intend
to use GCJ with some other run-time, or you're going to install it
separately, or it just happens not to build on your particular
machine.  In general, if the Java front end is enabled, the GCJ
libraries will be enabled too, unless they're known to not work on
the target platform.  If GCJ is enabled but &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libgcj</span></samp>&rsquo; isn't built, you
may need to port it; in this case, before modifying the top-level
<samp><span class="file">configure.ac</span></samp> so that &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libgcj</span></samp>&rsquo; is enabled by default on this platform,
you may use <samp><span class="option">--enable-libgcj</span></samp> to override the default.

   </dl>

   <p>The following options apply to building &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libgcj</span></samp>&rsquo;.

<h5 class="subsubheading"><a name="TOC6"></a>General Options</h5>

     <dl>
<dt><code>--enable-java-maintainer-mode</code><dd>By default the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libjava</span></samp>&rsquo; build will not attempt to compile the
<samp><span class="file">.java</span></samp> source files to <samp><span class="file">.class</span></samp>.  Instead, it will use the
<samp><span class="file">.class</span></samp> files from the source tree.  If you use this option you
must have executables named <samp><span class="command">ecj1</span></samp> and <samp><span class="command">gjavah</span></samp> in your path
for use by the build.  You must use this option if you intend to
modify any <samp><span class="file">.java</span></samp> files in <samp><span class="file">libjava</span></samp>.

     <br><dt><code>--with-java-home=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>This &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libjava</span></samp>&rsquo; option overrides the default value of the
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">java.home</span></samp>&rsquo; system property.  It is also used to set
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">sun.boot.class.path</span></samp>&rsquo; to <samp><var>dirname</var><span class="file">/lib/rt.jar</span></samp>.  By
default &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">java.home</span></samp>&rsquo; is set to <samp><var>prefix</var></samp> and
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">sun.boot.class.path</span></samp>&rsquo; to
<samp><var>datadir</var><span class="file">/java/libgcj-</span><var>version</var><span class="file">.jar</span></samp>.

     <br><dt><code>--with-ecj-jar=</code><var>filename</var><dd>This option can be used to specify the location of an external jar
file containing the Eclipse Java compiler.  A specially modified
version of this compiler is used by <samp><span class="command">gcj</span></samp> to parse
<samp><span class="file">.java</span></samp> source files.  If this option is given, the
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libjava</span></samp>&rsquo; build will create and install an <samp><span class="file">ecj1</span></samp> executable
which uses this jar file at runtime.

     <p>If this option is not given, but an <samp><span class="file">ecj.jar</span></samp> file is found in
the topmost source tree at configure time, then the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libgcj</span></samp>&rsquo;
build will create and install <samp><span class="file">ecj1</span></samp>, and will also install the
discovered <samp><span class="file">ecj.jar</span></samp> into a suitable place in the install tree.

     <p>If <samp><span class="file">ecj1</span></samp> is not installed, then the user will have to supply one
on his path in order for <samp><span class="command">gcj</span></samp> to properly parse <samp><span class="file">.java</span></samp>
source files.  A suitable jar is available from
<a href="ftp://sourceware.org/pub/java/">ftp://sourceware.org/pub/java/</a>.

     <br><dt><code>--disable-getenv-properties</code><dd>Don't set system properties from <samp><span class="env">GCJ_PROPERTIES</span></samp>.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-hash-synchronization</code><dd>Use a global hash table for monitor locks.  Ordinarily,
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libgcj</span></samp>&rsquo;'s &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">configure</span></samp>&rsquo; script automatically makes
the correct choice for this option for your platform.  Only use
this if you know you need the library to be configured differently.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-interpreter</code><dd>Enable the Java interpreter.  The interpreter is automatically
enabled by default on all platforms that support it.  This option
is really only useful if you want to disable the interpreter
(using <samp><span class="option">--disable-interpreter</span></samp>).

     <br><dt><code>--disable-java-net</code><dd>Disable java.net.  This disables the native part of java.net only,
using non-functional stubs for native method implementations.

     <br><dt><code>--disable-jvmpi</code><dd>Disable JVMPI support.

     <br><dt><code>--disable-libgcj-bc</code><dd>Disable BC ABI compilation of certain parts of libgcj.  By default,
some portions of libgcj are compiled with <samp><span class="option">-findirect-dispatch</span></samp>
and <samp><span class="option">-fno-indirect-classes</span></samp>, allowing them to be overridden at
run-time.

     <p>If <samp><span class="option">--disable-libgcj-bc</span></samp> is specified, libgcj is built without
these options.  This allows the compile-time linker to resolve
dependencies when statically linking to libgcj.  However it makes it
impossible to override the affected portions of libgcj at run-time.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-reduced-reflection</code><dd>Build most of libgcj with <samp><span class="option">-freduced-reflection</span></samp>.  This reduces
the size of libgcj at the expense of not being able to do accurate
reflection on the classes it contains.  This option is safe if you
know that code using libgcj will never use reflection on the standard
runtime classes in libgcj (including using serialization, RMI or CORBA).

     <br><dt><code>--with-ecos</code><dd>Enable runtime eCos target support.

     <br><dt><code>--without-libffi</code><dd>Don't use &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libffi</span></samp>&rsquo;.  This will disable the interpreter and JNI
support as well, as these require &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libffi</span></samp>&rsquo; to work.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-libgcj-debug</code><dd>Enable runtime debugging code.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-libgcj-multifile</code><dd>If specified, causes all <samp><span class="file">.java</span></samp> source files to be
compiled into <samp><span class="file">.class</span></samp> files in one invocation of
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">gcj</span></samp>&rsquo;.  This can speed up build time, but is more
resource-intensive.  If this option is unspecified or
disabled, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">gcj</span></samp>&rsquo; is invoked once for each <samp><span class="file">.java</span></samp>
file to compile into a <samp><span class="file">.class</span></samp> file.

     <br><dt><code>--with-libiconv-prefix=DIR</code><dd>Search for libiconv in <samp><span class="file">DIR/include</span></samp> and <samp><span class="file">DIR/lib</span></samp>.

     <br><dt><code>--with-system-zlib</code><dd>Use installed &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">zlib</span></samp>&rsquo; rather than that included with GCC.

     <br><dt><code>--with-win32-nlsapi=ansi, unicows or unicode</code><dd>Indicates how MinGW &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">libgcj</span></samp>&rsquo; translates between UNICODE
characters and the Win32 API.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-java-home</code><dd>If enabled, this creates a JPackage compatible SDK environment during install.
Note that if &ndash;enable-java-home is used, &ndash;with-arch-directory=ARCH must also
be specified.

     <br><dt><code>--with-arch-directory=ARCH</code><dd>Specifies the name to use for the <samp><span class="file">jre/lib/ARCH</span></samp> directory in the SDK
environment created when &ndash;enable-java-home is passed. Typical names for this
directory include i386, amd64, ia64, etc.

     <br><dt><code>--with-os-directory=DIR</code><dd>Specifies the OS directory for the SDK include directory. This is set to auto
detect, and is typically 'linux'.

     <br><dt><code>--with-origin-name=NAME</code><dd>Specifies the JPackage origin name. This defaults to the 'gcj' in
java-1.5.0-gcj.

     <br><dt><code>--with-arch-suffix=SUFFIX</code><dd>Specifies the suffix for the sdk directory. Defaults to the empty string.
Examples include '.x86_64' in 'java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0.x86_64'.

     <br><dt><code>--with-jvm-root-dir=DIR</code><dd>Specifies where to install the SDK. Default is $(prefix)/lib/jvm.

     <br><dt><code>--with-jvm-jar-dir=DIR</code><dd>Specifies where to install jars. Default is $(prefix)/lib/jvm-exports.

     <br><dt><code>--with-python-dir=DIR</code><dd>Specifies where to install the Python modules used for aot-compile. DIR should
not include the prefix used in installation. For example, if the Python modules
are to be installed in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages, then
&ndash;with-python-dir=/lib/python2.5/site-packages should be passed. If this is
not specified, then the Python modules are installed in $(prefix)/share/python.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-aot-compile-rpm</code><dd>Adds aot-compile-rpm to the list of installed scripts.

     <br><dt><code>--enable-browser-plugin</code><dd>Build the gcjwebplugin web browser plugin.
