In the process of installing gcc-2.4.5 (on an SGI IRIS runing IRIX 4.0.5)
I noticed that `make install' installs $tooldir.  Tooldir is defined in
the Makefile as $(exec-prefix)/$target.  As I configured gcc-2.4.5 with
`configure --prefix=/nfs/vol/gcc --target=mips-sgi-irix4', $tooldir is
/nfs/vol/gcc/mips-sgi-irix4.

A comment in the Makefile says tooldir is used with install-cross.
However, I am not building a cross compiler, and make install still
tries to install $tooldir.  Is this behaviour correct?  It was not the
case with previous versions of gcc (gcc-2.3.3 and earlier).

This is causing a mainor administrative hassle at our site because we make
extensive use of amd to automatically mount host dependent and host
independent files.  Without going into detail, let me just say that
installing /nfs/vol/gcc/$target would vastly complicate our amd maps.

The immediate solution is simply to ignore it, i.e. not to install
$tooldir.  So far everything seems to work just fine without it,
including building libg++-4.0.  Is this okay?  Can we just ignore it?
Or are we going to get bitten in the future?

Thanks for your help,
Tim
