But if you specified a prefix, installdir should not be /usr/local!
That is precisely what I need you to track down -- how/why is this
happening.
What references to /usr/local exist in your gcc Makefiles? Are you
absolutely sure you use --prefix=<something>? Could you have typo'd
the argument? You can look at config.status in the gcc subdir to
find out exactly how your configured the compiler.
