Thanks - but I don't see the documentation for this in install.texi.

Are the other issues listed in the original PR - that the shared libraries
should go in $(libdir) not $(libsubdir), and that any installed Ada
programs using the libraries should be linked against the shared libraries
rather than the static versions - now fixed, or would you like separate
PRs opened for each of those issues?  I think everything else listed is
definitely working fine (or was before the tree-ssa merge).

(Linking installed programs against the shared libraries is on the general
principle that all programs should be linked against shared rather than
static libraries except in a few cases where something needs to work when
the system shared libraries may be broken, e.g. ldconfig.  But given that
testing programs linked against new shared libraries, and handling
multi-stage bootstrap in such a configuration, is harder than with static
linking, I realise doing so may be lower priority.)
