Installation Names
==================
-By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
-`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
-installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
-option `--prefix=PREFIX'.
+By default, `make install' installs the package's commands under
+`/usr/local/bin', include files under `/usr/local/include', etc. You
+can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving
+`configure' the option `--prefix=PREFIX'.
You can specify separate installation prefixes for
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
-give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PREFIX', the package will
-use PREFIX as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
-Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.

In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
options like `--bindir=DIR' to specify different values for particular
need to know the machine type.
If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should

If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a

+causes the specified `gcc' to be used as the C compiler (unless it is

+ /bin/bash ./configure CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash

+Here the `CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash' operand causes subsequent
+configuration-related scripts to be executed by `/bin/bash'.
