Ah, it seems some kind person (Mike Thomas) has put code in the
top-level Makefile to copy gcc and its supporting files into the
installed tree, so you don't need to do that. Sorry for the confusion.
However, $(prefix) still defaults to /usr/local unless you give a
--prefix option to configure. I suspect this isn't a sensible default
for i386-unknown-mingw32 (it would be fine for i386-unknown-cygwin,
though).
Cheers,
Simon
