I am building the cross compiler to be installed under /usr/......
where only root can make a directory. But I don't like to compile gcc
as root. However, I do make the directory in my cross compiler rpm spec
file. I have something like

mkkdir -p ${prefix}/lib/gcc-lib/${target_alias}/${gcc_version}

before configuring the cross compiler since I usually build RPM as
root.
