Some other files are created as temporary files 11in the configuration process, and are not used in the subsequent 12build; these are not documented. 13 14@itemize @bullet 15@item 16@file{Makefile} is constructed from @file{Makefile.in}, together with 17the host and target fragments (@pxref{Fragments, , Makefile 18Fragments}) @file{t-@var{target}} and @file{x-@var{host}} from 19@file{config}, if any, and language Makefile fragments 20@file{@var{language}/Make-lang.in}. 21@item 22@file{auto-host.h} contains information about the host machine 23determined by @file{configure}. If the host machine is different from 24the build machine, then @file{auto-build.h} is also created, 25containing such information about the build machine. 26@item 27@file{config.status} is a script that may be run to recreate the 28current configuration. 29@item 30@file{configargs.h} is a header containing details of the arguments 31passed to @file{configure} to configure GCC, and of the thread model 32used. 33@item 34@file{cstamp-h} is used as a timestamp. 35@item 36@file{gccbug}, a script for reporting bugs in GCC, is constructed from 37@file{gccbug.in}. 38@item 39If a language @file{config-lang.in} file (@pxref{Front End Config, , 40The Front End @file{config-lang.in} File}) sets @code{outputs}, then 41the files listed in @code{outputs} there are also generated. 42@end itemize 43 44The following configuration headers are created from the Makefile, 45using @file{mkconfig.sh}, rather than directly by @file{configure}. 46@file{config.h}, @file{bconfig.h} and @file{tconfig.h} all contain the 47@file{xm-@var{machine}.h} header, if any, appropriate to the host, 48build and target machines respectively, the configuration headers for 49the target, and some definitions; for the host and build machines, 50these include the autoconfigured headers generated by 51@file{configure}. The other configuration headers are determined by 52@file{config.gcc}. They also contain the typedefs for @code{rtx}, 53@code{rtvec} and @code{tree}. 54 55@itemize @bullet 56@item 57@file{config.h}, for use in programs that run on the host machine. 58@item 59@file{bconfig.h}, for use in programs that run on the build machine. 60@item 61@file{tconfig.h}, for use in programs and libraries for the target 62machine. 63@item 64@file{tm_p.h}, which includes the header @file{@var{machine}-protos.h} 65that contains prototypes for functions in the target @file{.c} file. 66FIXME: why is such a separate header necessary? 67@end itemize 68
