That's the most useless behavior I've ever encountered. The logical
corollary is that it is not possible to configure --prefix=/usr on a
build machine without implying that /usr/lib contains libraries for the
host, in other words, that it is not possible to cross-build native
system tools using libtool, with $build != $host, _by design_?
Let's try this from the other end then. I want binutils installed on
my target in /usr. I want to build it on a $build != $host system.
How would you recommend configuring it?
