And where are you trying to install things :-) just /usr/include
and /usr/lib are not really usable, and where do the binaries go ?
For example /usr/bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnu-ld is maybe acceptable, but
that will also give a /usr/arm-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld, and also
a /usr/info/ld.info (collision with every other binutils package).
