I don't think so. It's GCC that does. GCC creates the directory so
that other projects don't have to care about it: a yet-to-be-installed
GCC will just find libraries that have already been installed. If GCC
refrains from creating the directory so that it can find pre-installed
libraries and headers, other projects that depend on it finding them
will have to be taught to tell GCC to look for them there.
H.J., I'm willing to play a bit with cross-building GCC, glibc and
maybe even the kernel itself. Would you be willing to hand-hold me a
little bit, so that I could understand better the issues you're
talking about, then we'll come back to the list with a joint proposal?
