OK, the first is a native one, so it goes to $exec_prefix, say: /usr/lib. The second one is a cross one, so it goes to $exec_prefix/$target_alias, say: /usr/mipsel-linux/lib. Finally, the last one is a cross one, too, so it goes to $exec_prefix/$target_alias, say: /usr/mipsel-linux/lib -- oops! -- the second one just got overwritten... > Anyway, after re-reading the thread, I remember why we chose to do it > the way we did it.
