I have also stumbled over this issue: violating the good triple-rule: configure / make / make install. Building of ghdl is already more complex due to unpacking of gcc and calling make copy-sources (though this could be treated as bootstrap and maybe better renamed to bootstrap, while preserving comment "copy sources"?). The other thing is that ghdl was nicely built out-of-tree in the gcc build directory but now make ghdllib must be called in the ghdl source directory, which I'd like to avoid. Sorry, I haven't addressed this issue right on July/August. Actually using already compiled parts to generate something else during build is not uncommon. But in such cases Makefile uses executables in their build path, not installed one. Hopefully this could be fixed. And the other thing would be to add something like make copy-ghdllib-sources to build it out-of-tree also? BTW, is there any good reason to not build ghdllib in the gcc build directory?
