I have compiled gcc for Fedora 10 and OpenSolaris 2008.11 (with and without using GNU ld selected by ./configure options) and found that GCC_EXEC_PREFIX is simply always set. It is not "... set to support "make check" using non-system assembler and linker with ..." it is simply just being set, no matter the reason. Rob -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36443
