GCC does not have a nice clean build system, nor does it have a nice |
| 14 |
clean modular setup that allows you to pick and choose language |
| 15 |
frontends (or arch backends) at anything other than compile time. It's |
| 16 |
just not designed to let you provide gcc-frontend-c, gcc-frontend-c++, |
| 17 |
gcc-backend-x86-linux etc packages. |
