Is gcc's libcc1 needed?
I would like to package the Retro68 68k and powerpc compilers separately in MacPorts, so that a user who only wants one or the other only needs to download what they want.
Most of the files installed by the 68k and powerpc compilers have the target name as part of the file or directory name. But both the 68k and powerpc compilers also install a library called libcc1.0.so. If I included this library in both the 68k and powerpc compiler packages, they would conflict with one another, which I don't want. Does Retro68 need this library? If not, could you disable its creation and installation using the --disable-libcc1 configure argument?
MacPorts already has other cross compilers and encountered this problem with them and solved it by disabling libcc1. Seemingly in MacPorts at least, we believed we did not need this library.
Sounds very reasonable. It's just being built because that's the default and it didn't get in the way yet.
