SuSE 7.3; bash 2.05 as shipped by SuSE
>Description:
Configuring with --prefix=~/somewhere --program-suffix=something gives a built version which does not install properly.
Specifically, "make install" fails with an error in installing libiberty.a, and leaves directories called "~" lying around.
>How-To-Repeat:
make two copies of the gcc distribution, configure one with --prefix=~/foo and one with --prefix=/home/twomack/foo, build both; the first won't install, the second will.
