Umm, when did this change? I thought it was only gcc that couldn't configure
and build in the source dir? Doesn't this mean somebody should update
binutils/README, since it still claims that
"To build binutils, you can just do:
cd binutils-XXX
./configure [options]
make
make install # copies the programs files into /usr/local/bin
# by default.
" ?
FWIW, it works for cygwin native builds.
cheers,
