Under the following, wierd, I will admit, circumstances, the make of
gcc will succede, but the actual program generated will be incorrect.

If you perform your build in a subdirectory, say sun3-os4, and modify the
libdir in the sun3-os4 Makefile to some other value, (say /usr/local/lib/
gcc/Sun3-OS4) things will get very screwed up unless you also modify the
location in ../Makefile.

If you do not, gcc will fail during compiles after installation with errors
like:  "cc1 not found"

Oh, and PS, I like this feature, modula the bug which took quite a
while to track down.
