Don't remember exactly why but when I did some tests with cegcc-4.3.2 configure is testing this value/ By chance I still have the build log :

I googled and I find that usually /lib/cpp is a symbolic link to /bin/cpp, that's why I did this. > > BTW, I don't think that creating a link under /lib behind the > users back is something we should be doing. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Cegcc-devel mailing list Cegcc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cegcc-devel
