Perhaps HJ can explain more? 1. I want to be able to build it as a normal user. 2. It shouldn't fail in the middle of a 3 hour build just because I am not root. I can live with an error message during configure if root is really required. But it should tell me what to do in order to build it as a normal user. 3. It shouldn't require $(build_tooldir)/sys-include has to exist. I only have $(build_tooldir)/include and $(build_tooldir)/lib, similar to my native glibc setup. H.J.
