If you build bfd for other targets, target_alias will be different from host_alias, and everything is fine, each libbfd will be in a separate directory. Unless you start building different libbfds for the same pair (host,target), exec_prefix and target[_alias] should be enough to keep them apart. -- Alexandre Oliva Enjoy Guarana', see http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat GCC Developer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} CS PhD student at IC-Unicamp oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist Professional serial bug killer
