OK, i specified '--prefix=/usr' at the "./configure" step, and
'prefix=/tmp/isolated-gcc-2.95.2/usr' at the "make install" step. I cd'd to
/tmp/isolated-gcc-2.95.2/, and tarred up everything, including the /usr
directory. Then i untarred the entire thing to /. (overwriting my previously
installed cross-compiler). Now the config.guess script that comes with all
autoconf projects wont work, insisting that It cannot guess my host, and I must
specify it instead.
Please help. It is important for me that ./configure can guess my host type,
as a whole wack of scripts i've written will be broke if it cannot.
Thanks,
Ben
