Hi everyone,I just wanted to let you know that I checked in an update so when using the build machines compiler (for intermediate executables etc), this comes from the users' path rather than forcing /usr/bin.
The reason behind this is that on some platforms you may need to install a newer gcc on your host and have this picked up by LTIB.
In my case the motivation was that on an old autobuild machine I use (RedHat 7.3), the gcc provided on that (2.96 20000731) is too old to build some of build tools for package (for example busybox). In this case I had a newer gcc installed in /usr/local/bin/gcc. With this change to LTIB this gcc (which is first in my path) is used rather than the old fixed /usr/bin/gcc.
Regards, Stuart
