Was wondering about the addition of an "enable-bindir-path" which would
only use
paths with /bin instead of /usr/bin for setups where /usr/bin -> /bin
(like cygwin who mounts /bin and /lib on /usr/bin and /usr/lib -- using
mounts instead of symlinks). The've had that since the beginning with
nothing being
installed in /usr/bin or /usr/lib.
Was also wondering why that wasn't chosen as a default for merging, since
/bin and /lib are almost always on the root file system so they are always
there, versus /usr/{bin,lib{,64}} which may need to be mounted before it can
be used...if it can't be mounted, having things in /bin & /lib pointed
to /usr won't work so well.
Anyway, just thought the option would be easy enough apart from other
issues(?).
