This problem happens when building outside of the sourcetree too. It didn't 
happen to me, cause due to some unknown reason I owned the /usr/lib/nof 
directory on the building machine I use and so I had the right to install 
in there :-(.

You can easily reproduce this problem with the following sequence on any 
machine where libiberty and friends are multilibbed:

su
chown -R root:root /my_prefix/lib
exit
../gcc-2.95/configure --prefix=/my_prefix
make bootstrap
mkdir -p /var/tmp/gcc-root/my_prefix
make prefix=/var/tmp/gcc-root/my_prefix install

This should show you the problem.
