Hi,

I always specify the prefix to configure, before making, i.e.

./configure --prefix=/path/to/my/filesystem

I've never had problems doing it this way.
HTH,

So do I, but installing to a different location to where the package was configured for is a feature that the GCC build system supports. I've used specifying a different prefix= argument to make to what I supplied in configure many times, so therefore this is a bug.
