Duplicate --with-gnu-ld Entries in libgpg-error 1.55 configure Help Output
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

When running ./configure --help for libgpg-error-1.55, the Optional Packages section lists the --with-gnu-ld flag twice.

Optional Packages:
  --with-PACKAGE[=ARG]    use PACKAGE [ARG=yes]
  --without-PACKAGE       do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no)
  --with-pic[=PKGS]       try to use only PIC/non-PIC objects [default=use
                          both]
  --with-aix-soname=aix|svr4|both
                          shared library versioning (aka "SONAME") variant to
                          provide on AIX, [default=aix].
  **--with-gnu-ld**           assume the C compiler uses GNU ld [default=no]
  --with-sysroot[=DIR]    Search for dependent libraries within DIR (or the
                          compiler's sysroot if not specified).
  --with-libtool-modification=apply|never|try
                          how to handle libtool modification (default=never)
  **--with-gnu-ld**           assume the C compiler uses GNU ld [default=no]
  --with-libiconv-prefix[=DIR]  search for libiconv in DIR/include and DIR/lib
  --without-libiconv-prefix     don't search for libiconv in includedir and libdir
  --with-libintl-prefix[=DIR]  search for libintl in DIR/include and DIR/lib
  --without-libintl-prefix     don't search for libintl in includedir and libdir
  --with-readline=DIR     look for the readline library in DIR

The duplication is introduced because the same AC_ARG_WITH([gnu-ld], …) definition appears in two separate m4 macros:

  • m4/libtool.m4
  • m4/lib-ld.m4

Each file independently adds the --with-gnu-ld help entry, resulting in two identical entries in the configured help output.
