Hmm... Yes, I'm beginning to see this, now that the discussion seems to |
| 13 |
be widening my viewpoint a bit. One of those "Duh, why didn't I see that |
| 14 |
before?" moments on my part. <g> |

I'm not sure as to the uncompress issue (as you followup with), but simply |
| 17 |
setting a different PKGDIR location when I run gcc-config should do what I |
| 18 |
wanted, and I can then simply switch back to the old tree if necessary |
| 19 |
with a quick reset of PKGDIR. |

Thanks for pointing that out! |
