| Yes, I've read: <http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html>
|
| What I don't understand is whether it's supposed to look up the
registry key
| *at the time of installing gcc, i.e. at 'make install'*, or whether it
means

When it executes.

I haven't heard from anyone who actually *uses* it, though, so....
