From d7a76c6b6460efa26c690aaa97a1843c9391d19f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Turney Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2022 23:17:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Cygwin: configure: Add option to disable building 'dumper' Rather than guessing, based on just the presence of libbfd, add an explicit configuration option, to build dumper or not, defaulting to building it. This might have some use when bootstrapping Cygwin for a new architecture, or when building your own Cygwin-targetted cross-compiler, rather than installing one from the copr, along with the dependencies of libbfd.
