I've never gotten around to actually doing this, but I wonder if inverting the "standard-ness" of paths could help. You could set up a chroot environment that you use for building, where you have your *build* tools (compiler, linker, etc.) as /unexpected/location/bin/gcc etc., and install directly (without DESTDIR) into the "root" directory which has the sticky flag (like /tmp). It would mean that you never test proper DESTDIR support though. _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
