Great! I'm very much looking forward to these packages.
4) libraries respectively headers will be installed under /usr/avr/lib resp
/usr/avr/include for avr and under /usr/arm-linux/lib resp
/usr/arm-linux/include for arm-linux. I know this doesn't seem FHS
compliant, still I believe this is the right way, rationale:
Why not /usr/share/avr/include, /usr/share/arm-linux/lib etc.? From the
view of the host, this is shareable data, i.e. I can use the same data
with an i386 avr-gcc or a ppc avr-gcc, no?
Because all the cross-compile makefiles, binutils/gcc/glibc configure script
etc, expect it to be under $prefix/$target. Moving away from this will become a
HUGE patchfest and then people will start complaining that app XXYZ doesn't
work with our cross-compile toolchain because we did things different.
Besides that there are binaries installed under /usr/avr/bin, moving things to
under /usr/share thus is not an option.
Also see the long list of rationale I gave in the original post, but you didn't
bother to go into.
