  Hi.

I have a better version of the patch where section compression detection is based
on ld --help, rather than a particular binutils version.
That's much easier and all ld, ld.bfd and mold use the very same option.

Ready to be installed?
Thanks,
Martin

OK.  Can you document the change in changes.html?

Patch

From d2314c942c5c19a5fd5d6b2d45750d863636873c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Martin Liska <mliska@suse.cz>

Subject: [PATCH] remove -gz=zlib-gnu option value

The option value is legacy and probably not used at all,
thus ignore it.

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* configure: Regenerate.
	* configure.ac: Simplify to gcc_cv_ld_compress_debug={0,1}
	and gcc_cv_as_compress_debug={0,1}.
	* doc/invoke.texi: Document the removal.
	* gcc.cc (LINK_COMPRESS_DEBUG_SPEC): Simplify and ignore
	  zlib-gnu.
	(ASM_COMPRESS_DEBUG_SPEC): Likewise.
