Hum, I'm not sure to understand... When the C++ compiler is installed, a
bits subdirectory is automatically created on the disk and filled with
the appropriate headers, 'make install' does it automatically for you.
Likewise does rpm or whatever package manager you use for binaries.

Are you jocking? I'm Italian, I didn't study English at school (French
instead), and it *never* occurred to me that in this case it can mean
something different that 'little pieces' (of code). But maybe you are
just having some fun, in that case I would suggest moving this kind of
recreational activity to different place.
Seriously, this is anyway the wrong GCC mailing list, because it's about
*development activities*, not general curiosities, or help, sorry.
