This fixes a "make prefix=... mandir=... install" installation error
in libffi on multilib targets like {x86_64,m68k}-linux:make prefix=/tmp/buildroot/usr mandir=/tmp/buildroot/usr/share/man install ... Making install in man make[5]: Entering directory `/tmp/objdir/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/32/libffi/man' make[6]: Entering directory `/tmp/objdir/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/32/libffi/man' make[6]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. test -z "/usr/share/man/man3" || /bin/mkdir -p "/usr/share/man/man3" /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 /tmp/gcc-4.7-20120211/libffi/man/ffi.3 /tmp/gcc-4.7-20120211/libffi/man/ffi_call.3 /tmp/gcc-4.7-20120211/libffi/man/ffi_prep_cif.3 '/usr/share/man/man3' /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/share/man/man3/ffi.3': Permission denied /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/share/man/man3/ffi_call.3': Permission denied /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/share/man/man3/ffi_prep_cif.3': Permission denied make[6]: *** [install-man3] Error 1 The problem is that the Makefile variable FLAGS_TO_PASS isn't defined. This causes multilib subdirs to not see the install-time settings and instead use the configure-time settings, which breaks installations via a separate staging area. This problem affects trunk and the 4.6 and 4.5 branches. 4.4 is not affected since it doesn't have these man pages. See <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-09/msg01187.html> for a similar problem in libquadmath that Joseph Myers fixed last year. OK for trunk and affected branches?
