I have actually enabled it. It hasn't caused any problems, though since it's 
unclear to me as to what it's actually supposed to do, I don't know how useful 
it is.

If it is supposed to work only when installing gcc (after build) then I would 
think that it is pretty useless because AFAIK everybody seems to go the route 
of specifying --prefix as the installation location, which works.
