build gcc with a name change, but not the symlink option

build gcc with a name change, but not the symlink option

[Sam Halliday]

hello,

i am trying to build gcc 2.95.3 on my Mandrake 8.1, it builds perfectly, but 
one small thing....

i want to build the new compiler with a change in name, can i install the 
new gcc under the name "sgcc", and the same with g++ as "sg++" etc. (like 
the way mandrake install egcs under the name kgcc, kg++ etc.)

i have tried very hard to do this with the --prefix-program and 
--program-transformname options, but to no avail, coudl somebody please shed 
some light on the matter,

also, i dont want to do the symlink option, it doesnt really appeal to me.

thanks for your help

Sam, Ireland

Try --program-transform-name=s,^,g, 

This will prefix all of the program names with a 'g'.
