Default BUILDTYPE and/or BUILDMODE?
What is the default BUILDTYPE if it is not defined in the build (make)
command?
Here are some values from $builddir/makefile.in when BUILDTYPE is not
specified:
CONFIG_H = gcc-4.1.1-
BUILDTYPE =
BUILDMODE =
LIBBASE = std$(BUILDTYPE)
Are these values correct? I haven't looked but do the docs say if
BUILDTYPE (or BUILDMODE) is required? Or what the default is? If there
isn't a default, I think we should establish one: shared, reentrant in
all snapshots (i.e. all development) and release on all systems, wide
builds on wide systems in snapshots and releases that support them,
debug in snapshots, and optimized in releases.
Thanks,
Brad.

Hmm. Unless there are objections, I'm inclined to file an enhancement
request to allow building with a default build type (or mode).

Not quite. The default build type is no optimization (no -O),
no debugging (no -g), and no reentrancy. There's no numeric
mnemonic for it.

Right. Developers usually build with debugging turned on but users will
more likely opt for optimized builds for installation.
A "release" is a copy of a source distribution (or the tagged Subversion
repositories used to create such distributions). A "snapshot" is any
other non-released copy of the source.

Note that exactly one of BUILDTYPE and BUILDMODE must be
defined.
This comment is not totally accurate from a user perspective. They are
allowed to provide neither as indicated by the quote pasted below...
>Or what the default is?
Again, from section 5 of the README
The <build-type> argument is optional. When not
specified a build type of 11s is assumed.

I only followed that sentence for the first 20 words or so. I don't
understand what you mean when you refer to 'snapshots' and 'releases'.
It sounds like you are proposing that the default be different based on
who is doing the build?
