If no, why not? Asking because I'm fairly sure not everybody uses DESTDIR for cross compilation and assumes that the target directory is no-go land for us. (I for one often do 'make install DESTDIR=/tmp/dest' merely to tar up the installation tree to be scp'ed to another machine where the NFS share is mounted rw.) I haven't looked into this in detail yet, but thanks for the good writeup and the many references. We need testsuite exposure for this. Cheers, Ralf
