Each package needs a different --with-prefix option. That's the least risky way to do it. You can settle any conflicts with your $PATH, and you can even try differernt gcc's with different binutil's that way. Though doing --with-prefix=/opt/gnu/gcc-2.95.3 --with-prefix=/opt/gnu/binutils-2.15 ... ... wouldn't be a bad idea, so you can just tar up /opt/gnu. -- DDDD DK KD DKK D Bush/Cheney '04: Putting the "Con" in Conservative DK KD DDDD
