Building GCC


HI,

A quick simple, I hope, question about building gcc..

If I do:

1. tar xvf gcc-3....

2. mkdir build

3. export PREFIX=$(pwd)/build

4. cd build

5. ../gcc-3/configure --prefix=$PREFIX

6. make

Is it correc that *no* changes are made to the source tree then? Everything is done inside build? So if I want to undo everything and start over, I can just "cd build && rm -rf *" ?

Thanks
