From 8094526109034c6c6af44de47612e97319b2c7c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Wakely Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2022 10:30:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] doc: Remove misleading text about multilibs for IEEE long double The choice of ieee or ibm long double format is orthogonal to multilibs, as the two sets of symbols co-exist and don't need a separate multilib. gcc/ChangeLog: * doc/install.texi (Configuration): Remove misleading text around LE PowerPC Linux multilibs. --- gcc/doc/install.texi | 11 ----------- 1 file changed, 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/gcc/doc/install.texi b/gcc/doc/install.texi index 3192824..10bfcef 100644 --- a/gcc/doc/install.texi +++ b/gcc/doc/install.texi @@ -2139,17 +2139,6 @@ Until all of the libraries are converted to use IEEE 128-bit floating point, it is not recommended to use @option{--with-long-double-format=ieee}. -On little endian PowerPC Linux systems, if you explicitly set the -@code{long double} type, it will build multilibs to allow you to -select either @code{long double} format, unless you disable multilibs -with the @code{--disable-multilib} option.
