Support multilib-aware target lib flags self-specs overriding
This patch introduces -fmultiflags, short for multilib TFLAGS, as an option that does nothing by default, but that can be added to TFLAGS and mapped to useful options by driver self-specs. for gcc/ChangeLog * common.opt (fmultiflags): New. * doc/invoke.texi: Document it. * gcc.cc (driver_self_specs): Discard it. * opts.cc (common_handle_option): Ignore it in the driver.

+@item -fmultiflags

+This option enables multilib-aware @code{TFLAGS} to be used to build
+target libraries with options different from those the compiler is
+configured to use by default, through the use of specs (@xref{Spec
+Files}) set up by compiler internals, by the target, or by builders at
+configure time.
+
+Like @code{TFLAGS}, this allows the target libraries to be built for
+portable baseline environments, while the compiler defaults to more
+demanding ones. That's useful because users can easily override the
+defaults the compiler is configured to use to build their own programs,
+if the defaults are not ideal for their target environment, whereas
+rebuilding the runtime libraries is usually not as easy or desirable.
+
+Unlike @code{TFLAGS}, the use of specs enables different flags to be
+selected for different multilibs. The way to accomplish that is to
+build with @samp{make TFLAGS=-fmultiflags}, after configuring
+@samp{--with-specs=%@{fmultiflags:...@}}.
+
+This option is discarded by the driver once it's done processing driver
+self spec.
+
+It is also useful to check that @code{TFLAGS} are being used to build
+all target libraries, by configuring a non-bootstrap compiler
+@samp{--with-specs='%@{!fmultiflags:%emissing TFLAGS@}'} and building
+the compiler and target libraries.
