Extended Description

While configuring llvm-gcc, I noticed this error:

Checking linker read-only and read-write section mixing...
/proj/llvm/cfe/src-2/gcc/configure: line 15320: llvm-objdump: command not found

This probably results from use of the --program-prefix=llvm- option during
configure. However, without using that option it is very difficult to separate
regular gcc from llvm-gcc.

Should we create an llvm-objdump program for bytecode files?

[llvmbot]

Alternatively, should llvm-gcc's configure script be altered to:

a) not use the program_prefix for objdump, or
b) not use the objdump tool at all?

Any of the proposed solutions work for me except "a". program_prefix should still be used to support
cross compiles.

I don't use --program-prefix. I prefer to use symlinks, and this is the documented approach. However, if
you guys can get it to work without breaking cross compiles, go crazy :)

Configuring llvm-gcc works fine for me, I haven't heard reports of this since early 2007.
