>Environment:
System: Linux pcl321 2.4.17 #1 Sat Feb 23 15:19:54 CET 2002 i686 unknown
Architecture: i686
host: i586-pc-linux-gnu
build: i586-pc-linux-gnu
target: i586-pc-linux-gnu
configured with: ../gcc-3.2/configure --host=ix86-linux-gnulibc2 --prefix=/usr --disable-nls --enable-shared --enable-languages=c++,f77,objc --bindir=/ix86-linux-gnulibc2/bin
>Description:
I did 'configure; make bootstrap' as user 'peb', followed by 'make install'
as root, with the consequence that the directory
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/ix86-linux-gnulibc2/3.2/include
and several files in that directory (not just the "fixincluded" ones!) were
owned by 'peb' instead of 'root'
I consider this as a extremely undesirable misfeature.
