file path prefix '...' never used

[Kathy Bieltz]

Hi,

I'm compiling some C++ code on a RH 7.1 system
that came with gcc-2.96-81.  I recently built and
installed gcc-2.95.3 from source.  I configured
my gcc-2.95.3 build with --prefix=/usr/local/gcc2.95.3.

I'm having some problems compiling some C++
code that compiles with gcc fine on an HP-UX
system.

It was suggested I try compiling with
-B/usr/local/gcc2.95.3/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3/cc1.

I tried that and I keep getting:
gcc: file path prefix '/usr/local/.../cc1' not used.

Can someone explain what this means? Or
where I can find out.

Thanks!
