So what is the recommended way to compile for a given location but to first
install to another location ? (for example, if /usr/local is exported read-only
via NFS ? (with AFS I have heard similar things can happen)
Also for package builder's this should be an possible option, as you don't want
to destroy another egcs at the same location...
Thanks for any advice.
