12 default n if IS_A_BACKEND != "y" && IS_A_BACKEND != "Y"
16 prompt "Use obsolete features"
19 If you set this to Y, you will be able to select obsolete features.
21 Such obsolete features are the use of old kernel headers, old gcc
22 versions, etc... for which maintaining support in crosstool-NG
25 It does not however mean that the specific feature or version has been
26 marked obsolete by the upstream team.
30 prompt "Try features marked as EXPERIMENTAL"
33 If you set this to Y, then you will be able to try very experimental
36 Experimental features can be one of:
37 - working, in which case you should tell me it is!
38 - buggy, in which case you could try patching and send me the result
39 - unfinished, in which case you could try hacking it and send me the result
40 - non-existant, in which case you could also try hacking it in and send me
45 prompt "Debug crosstool-NG"
48 Say 'y' here to get some options regarding debugging crosstool-NG.
52 config DEBUG_PAUSE_STEPS
54 prompt "Pause between every steps"
57 Say 'y' if you intend to attend the build, and want to investigate
58 the result of each steps before running the next one.
60 config DEBUG_CT_SAVE_STEPS
62 prompt "Save intermediate steps"
65 If you say 'y' here, then you will be able to restart crosstool-NG at
68 It is not currently possible to restart at any of the debug facilities.
69 They are treated as a whole.
71 See docs/overview.txt for the list of steps.
73 config DEBUG_CT_SAVE_STEPS_GZIP
75 prompt "gzip saved states"
77 depends on DEBUG_CT_SAVE_STEPS
79 If you are tight on space, then you can ask to gzip the saved states
80 tarballs. On the other hand, this takes some longer time...
82 To lose as less time as possible, the gzip process is done with a low
83 compression ratio (-3), which gives roughly 70% gain in size. Going
84 further doesn't gain much, and takes far more time (believe me, I've
85 got figures here! :-) ).
87 config NO_OVERIDE_LC_MESSAGES
89 prompt "Do *not* overide LC_MESSAGES (EXPERIMENTAL)"
90 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
93 By default, crosstool-NG sets and exports LC_ALL=C so that the
94 build.log file contains english messages, that can be read by
95 people most likely to help interpret the logs. If you say N here,
96 and your locale is not an english language, then dissecting your
97 log file will be difficult for most people but you.
99 If you say Y here, then your current locale settings will be used
100 to print messages, instead of plain english.
