I don't think so.  It's GCC that does.  GCC creates the directory so
that other projects don't have to care about it: a yet-to-be-installed
GCC will just find libraries that have already been installed.  If GCC
refrains from creating the directory so that it can find pre-installed
libraries and headers, other projects that depend on it finding them
will have to be taught to tell GCC to look for them there.


H.J., I'm willing to play a bit with cross-building GCC, glibc and
maybe even the kernel itself.  Would you be willing to hand-hold me a
little bit, so that I could understand better the issues you're
talking about, then we'll come back to the list with a joint proposal?
