I'll try to post the dejagnu question to the right guys... And then, as
always, I forgot to write ALL what was in my mind... On my own system,
I'll do both a --prefix=/usr/local (yes, I use linux, and have gcc as the
default compiler) and a --program-prefix, to be able to call the compiler
I want from the command line, and avoid problems from different $PATH
values (sometime you have /usr/local/bin:..., some other you get
...:/usr/local/bin) I think this is more sensible than what I told, and
still useful... Only problem I envision is that I'll need to configure
--with-cc=... and so on if I want to compile with egcs.

Yours,
