Summary: go configuration with --prefix=/usr pollutes the /usr/lib namespace Product: gcc Version: 4.6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: other AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: d...@ubuntu.com [go/libgo components missing in the bug tracker] with --prefix=/usr libgo "pollutes" /usr/lib ? is there a recommended way to install the runtime into something like /usr/lib/go? or /usr/lib/go-<version> - the .gox files maybe should go to /usr/lib/go or /usr/lib/go-<version>, so that you can have parallel installations of different GCC versions with the same prefix. libjava is doing this too. - libgobegin.a maybe should installed into gcc_lib_dir?
