[Bug testsuite/38820] During "make -i check" we set GCC_EXEC_PREFIX="/usr/local/lib/gcc/"

------- Comment #2 from janis at gcc dot gnu dot org  2009-01-27 00:29 -------
It's not a bug that GCC EXEC_PREFIX is defined when the testsuite is run, as
explained in these patches:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-10/msg00708.html
  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-12/msg01493.html

When testing in the build tree the compiler is invoked with -B, which takes
precendence over GCC_EXEC_PREFIX.  That allows getting start files from
GCC_EXEC_PREFIX while the GCC support itself comes from the build tree.  It
doesn't matter if $GCC_EXEC_PREFIX contains an old installation.
