           Summary: go configuration with --prefix=/usr pollutes the
                    /usr/lib namespace
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: other
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: doko@ubuntu.com


[go/libgo components missing in the bug tracker]

with --prefix=/usr libgo "pollutes" /usr/lib ? is there a recommended way to
install the runtime into something like /usr/lib/go? or /usr/lib/go-<version>

 - the .gox files maybe should go to /usr/lib/go or
   /usr/lib/go-<version>, so that you can have parallel
   installations of different GCC versions with the
   same prefix. libjava is doing this too.

 - libgobegin.a maybe should installed into gcc_lib_dir?
