Re: configure with relative srcdir causing absolute pathname in gcc/Makefile

Yup, and so do all configure scripts.  But no configure scripts care
about adjusting --with-gcc-version-trigger, so some sub-sub-configure
might be in trouble should it depend on this being a valid pathname.

Now...  I suppose we could fix this defining that
--with-gcc-version-trigger specifies a relative pathname starting from
topsrcdir.  Since topsrcdir is computed properly everywhere, this
would just work.  Care to post a patch?  (Cc: to
gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org, please).
