1.4 Build shared companion libraries.

1.6 --------------------------------
1.7 +Symptoms:
1.8 + While building the final gcc, I get an error message that ends with:
1.9 + libtool.m4: error: problem compiling FC test program
1.10 +
1.11 +Explanations:
1.12 + The gc build procedure tries to run a Fortran test to see if it has a
1.13 + working native fortran compiler installed on the build machine, and it
1.14 + can't find one. A native Fortran compielr is needed (seems to be) to
1.15 + build the Fortran frontend of the cross-compiler.
1.16 + Even if you don't want to build the Fortran frontend, gcc tries to see
1.17 + if it has one, but fails. This is no problem, as the Fortran frontend
1.18 + will not be built. There is nothing to be worry about (unless you do
1.19 + want to build the Fortran frontend, of course).
1.20 +
1.21 +Fix:
1.22 + None so far. It's a spurious error, so there will probably never be
1.23 + a fix for this issue.
1.24 +
1.25 +Workaround:
1.26 + None needed, it's a spurious error.
