I am however having a hard time deleting the source and build directories. If I do "rmdir -v --ignore-fail-on-non-empty gcc-build/", it prints "rmdir: removing directory, gcc-build/" but does nothing and returns to the promt immediatly. Same for the binutils-build. Is there something i'm missing or should this work?
