introduce --enable-large-address-aware
Add a configure knob for mingw32 and 64 toolchains to default passing --large-address-aware to the linker, when creating 32-bit binaries. -Wl,--disable-large-address-aware can still reverse its effects. for gcc/ChangeLog * configure.ac: Introduce --enable-large-address-aware to define MINGW_DEFAULT_LARGE_ADDR_AWARE. * doc/install.texi: Document it. * configure, config.in: Rebuilt. * config/i386/mingw32.h (LINK_SPEC_LARGE_ADDR_AWARE): Define, based on MINGW_DEFAULT_LARGE_ADDR_AWARE. (LINK_SPEC): Insert it. * config/i386/mingw-264.h: Likewise. From-SVN: r265130

+@item --enable-large-address-aware
+The @option{--enable-large-address-aware} option arranges for MinGW
+executables to be linked using the @option{--large-address-aware}
+option, that enables the use of more than 2GB of memory. If GCC is
+configured with this option, its effects can be reversed by passing the
+@option{-Wl,--disable-large-address-aware} option to the so-configured
+compiler driver.
