Yes, with recent versions of gcc you can move the entire tree around and the gcc driver will still be able to find the various internal executables and header files. You need to keep the tree in the same format, but everything is found relatively. Telling the dynamic linker about a dynamic libgcc is still a problem, but that is a problem whereever you put the compiler. Ian
