Subject: configure: use move-if-change from gcc to create config.status.  Some
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=196377eec673c1ebbf175d3299d8bdf5133b122b;p=binutils-gdb.git

configure: use move-if-change from gcc to create config.status.  Some
makefiles depend on config.status to tell if a directory has been
reconfigured for a different host.  This change prevents those
directories from remaking everything in the case where the reconfig
was only intended to rebuild a Makefile.

+	* configure: use move-if-change from gcc to create config.status.
+	  Some makefiles depend on config.status to tell if a directory
+	  has been reconfigured for a different host.  This change
+	  prevents those directories from remaking everything in the case
+	  where the reconfig was only intended to rebuild a Makefile.
+
 	* configure: test for config.sub with "config.sub sun4" rather
 	  than "config.sub ${host_alias}".  Otherwise we can't tell a bad
 	  host alias from a missing config.sub.
