While reviewing PR bootstrap/48135, it came up that the Perl requirements in install.texi are inaccurate: * On some platforms (Darwin, Solaris), Perl is a build-time requirement, but documented with the development requirements only. * On Solaris with symbol versioning enabled, it is always necessary since libgomp is versioned and built even in a C-only bootstrap. The following patch reflects this. Tested during a i386-pc-solaris2.11 bootstrap. Ok for mainline and 4.6 branch? Btw., any word on [doc] Update install.texi for Solaris 2, IRIX, Tru64 UNIX http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-03/msg01013.html While I don't need approval for mainline, it would be helpful to get this into 4.6, too. Thanks. Rainer 2011-03-19 Rainer Orth <ro@CeBiTec.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> PR bootstrap/48135 * doc/install.texi (Prerequisites): Move Perl to build requirements. Always necessary on Solaris 2 with Sun ld.
