Hi All,
Is there a way to prevent installation of /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (or whatever the host arch is) when building from source, and if so, what is it?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Winston

You need to pass `--prefix` and the path where you want to have your
installation when configuring.
Cheers,
Claudiu

Hi,
I did that:
binutils-2.32-build$ ../binutils-2.32/configure --prefix=/usr
I still end up with /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. As far as I know, this directory is not part of the binary packages for most distributions, so I presume this is not even required unless I cross-compile?
Regards,
Winston
