 I will have to try that. Unfortunately, 'make bootstrap' takes over 4
hours on my little old Ultra2. I've not dinked with any of those options
before - anything to look out for?

 My goal here is to use a --prefix=/foo/bar/baz compiled gcc which is NFS
mounted (non-local disk space in a non-normal path) which, when accessed
by users at all sites, creates a binary that knows where to find everything
(within gcc anyway) that it needs to run.
