Ian,
You should always configure it with a prefix. But if you wrap up the
whole directory structure under that prefix and put it somewhere else,
gcc will still be able to run and to find its supporting programs.
Thanks, maybe someone on the list could help give guidance on the
following thread
(http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5277589) ?
Recently. I have learned ...
make DESTDIR=/path/to/some/install/dir install
Is this preferred now-a-days over --prefix= ?
--prefix isn't supported for the mpfr build on x86-64, except possibly for
Ubuntu and Debian. As you snipped so aggressively, I don't know if that
might be an issue. I haven't seen an explanation of whether maintainers
of packages other than mpfr have that "preference."
