I do only occasional build GCC mainline. I don't remember when I build the last time from CVS. My first subversion based build was at the end of november and I believe it succeeded. However, I didn't install that version and I don't remember source version either. > In the meanwhile (i.e. for 4.1, and on HEAD until this gets implemented > if ever) I'd stick with a default --with-build-tools value of > $prefix/$target/bin.
