What "other" versions > of libbfd? That's the place for libbfd for the host, e.g. assuming the build system is i386-linux: - $exec_prefix/lib/libbfd.la: i386-linux host binary for i386-linux target, - $exec_prefix/alpha-linux/lib/libbfd.la: alpha-linux host binary for alpha-linux target, - $exec_prefix/i386-linux/alpha-linux/lib/libbfd.la: i386-linux host binary for alpha-linux target, - $exec_prefix/i386-linux/mipsel-linux/lib/libbfd.la: i386-linux host binary for mipsel-linux target - $exec_prefix/mipsel-linux/lib/libbfd.la: mipsel-linux host binary for mipsel-linux target. > Again, $exec_prefix/lib works just fine here with --enable-targets=all'ed > binutils. I suppose so, but I don't want such a configuration. -- + Maciej W.
