Some part of prefix is needed if there is a same filename in different direcotry, so I wanted to strip top N prefix, not all dirname. However, I think this is more of a build environment issue, and if there were any convenient gcc functionlarity, I wanted to use it. Best Regards, (Hiroki Kaminaga) t --
