Hi all, Thank you for your responses. I see that autotools are very eager to look into /usr/local no matter what, so I have built gcc by temporarily renaming /usr/local this time. I will try the other workaround next time.
Incidentally, Mac Ports seems to have found a solution: "Note that starting with 2.3.0, MacPorts can automatically hide /usr/local (and all other files a port does not depend on) from ports' build systems. This feature is called trace mode and is activated by providing the -t flag to port". This seems to work in almost all cases. I wonder if it is possible to implement this for fink? (I don't know how the "trace mode" works, but having this option would be helpful if it is known to work well.)
