Ok, I did some poking around.  I can't find any evidence
that anything is trying to write any specific file to that
directory when the error is reported; maybe the error causes
the install to divert files to the prefix location, but
I'm just guessing about that.  It simply looks like
the gcc-specific part of the install thinks its installdir
is /usr/local.  From what I could tell, the problem appears
in $objdir/gcc/Makefile.  The error message appears when
line #3402 gets executed.

Note: you may need to blow away the installed files in
order to see the error message.====================================================
