--- Comment #12 from Ilya Leoshkevich <iii at linux dot ibm.com> --- Sorry, I didn't manage to catch you on IRC today, so continuing here. Is this conflict considered an issue that will be eventually resolved, or is it to stay? I wonder how to proceed; I guess on a shared machine different users will want cross-compilers or multilib, so unless there is a way to do something about this package conflict, maybe there can be a workaround for GCC? Looking at the flags I found, while --build=x86_64-linux-gnu is merely a nuisance, having to also specify --prefix=/usr is a bit too much, since it would make it impossible to have private installations (unless make install DESTDIR=... would magically work).
