The "it" in the quoted sense refers to using the same value for --prefix and --with-sysroot. The reason that is not normally done for a cross-compiler is that --with-sysroot refers to the root tree of a target system, directories like /usr/bin and /usr/include. The programs found in /usr/bin are programs that run on the target system. It does not make sense to install a (normally built) cross-compiler there, because the cross-compiler would not run on the target system. Ian
