Strictly speaking $PREFIX/lib/gcc/$TARGET/ could qualify ;-), but in the sense you probably have in mind, I'm not aware of any example. > It would be simple to add something like --with-pkgdatadir to > configure.

In principle it affects everyone build GCC on FreeBSD (and perhaps other BSDs), but indeed the use case I'm having is the FreeBSD Ports Collection which is basically a distro build. Having such a configure option definitely would help! Thanks, Gerald
