>From your description I assume this is a native build ($target == $host). When did this change? Also, _why_ do you have different tools in those two places? It looks to me like this last changed around 2005-06-16 on HEAD, and we assume that the assembler installed in $prefix is the assembler you want the compiler to be using - it's the same assembler you'd get if you said "as", so why shouldn't we use it? -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery, LLC
