If you find when installing 2.4.0 that you can't put assert.h into /usr/local/include, it is NOT a good idea to specify --local-prefix! The main effect of --local-prefix is to tell GCC to search some other dir instead of /usr/local/include. And that is correct only if /usr/local/include is not the right place to put a directory of site-specific include files in your system. Whether you can put assert.h there is a secondary matter, which shouldn't be the deciding factor for where --local-prefix is. Instead, the way to cope with being unable to write /usr/local/include is to set the make variable assertdir to put assert.h in one of the other directories that GCC searches. I will change this situation in 2.4.1.
