Bug#447381: gcc-4.2: please support the -nodocs build option
Package: gcc-4.2
Version: 4.2.2-3
Severity: wishlist
gcc has a complex debian build layout and it isn't straightforward to
disable the generation of the various -doc packages when preparing test
builds or (in my case) cross builds. It would save a lot of build time
and upload time if gcc could support the -nodocs option to prevent the
creation of all -doc packages built from the gcc source.
Each method that I try to disable the various -doc packages fails to
remove them all so it would be really useful if this could be supported
within the package.
