I did manage to build egcs 1.1.2 for HP-UX 10.20 with binutils, and I
know what you mean: in practice, binutils must be installed first _in
the directory_ in which you install egcs (i.e. deduced from your
prefix setting).

For me, it meant:

/tools/contrib/HP-UX/B.10.20/hppa1.1/packages/egcs/lib/gcc-lib/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/egcs-2.91.66

as my prefix was:

/tools/contrib/HP-UX/B.10.20/hppa1.1/packages/egcs

The egcs installation will silently ignore:

- your path
- any setting through --with-gnu-as=xxx and the like.

They are (I believe) a few other hard-coded canonic directories which
are searched, but they didn't match in my case.

Note that my gas is 2.9.1.

An other note: I also have DCE threads installed, and egcs makes use
of them, with the result that any linking with gcc needs to be passed
the -ldce option.

I already reported the first issue (without managing to convince the
maintainers that it was a problem), but not this second, should I?

Best Regards!
Marc
