What is the time scale for this? I have already written the code for the GPC driver to read 5 extra environment variables (to cater for "-- unit-path", "--object-path", "--unit-destination-path", "--object- destination-path", and "--executable-path").
Unfortunately, the latter 3 are not ok because (a) they're needed by the driver and (b) they may break compilation of 3rd party packages (which don't expect their objects to go somewhere else; whereas adding a search path (at the end) won't make a difference unless a file is not found otherwise which would be a problem, anyway).
Fine. I'll dispense with the patch, since the last 3 are not okay, and the first two are being implemented by you in gpc1.
Thanks.
