Compiling/Installation 4.1.1 is really easy, but answering the question 'Does
it compile my stuff?' prior to really installing for everybody is a little
difficult...
It would be nice if (when lean isn't set) for 'make bootstrap' or 'make
DESTDIR=path-to-rootdir install' to create either
a) chroot jail for testing
--or--
b) a script that could be sourced to set all relevent environment varables
(e.g. PATH, LD_PATH?) to point at the new compiler, and libraries.
(If this already exists, it should be documented in INSTALL/finalinstall.html
and/or INSTALL/build.html)
I think b) would be better....no super user required to test stuff out.....
(a grain of salt is required, my status for modern gcc is newbii.....)
