No. I haven't checked the attic for ghosts either.

How? If $prefix is /usr/local, then $libdir will be /usr/local/lib,
$libsubdir will be /usr/local/lib/gcc/target/3.4, and $gcc_tooldir
will be /usr/local/lib/gcc/target/3.4/../../../target. If you move
gcc from /usr/local, then /usr/local/lib/gcc/target/3.4/ will not
exist and the entire path will be illegal. How can that work?
How would it work less if $gcc_tooldir was /usr/local/target?
