At present gcc-4.2.4.inc sets: EXTRA_OECONF_BASE = "--enable-libssp --disable-bootstrap --disable-libgomp --disable-libmudflap" There doesn't seem to be any good reason to disable libgomp, and its absence is breaking gettext-0.16.1 at least. Does anybody know why it was disabled, and/or know a good reason why it shouldn't be re-enabled? p.
