That's not really a viable option for us now.  We have been
using /usr/local as the prefix for openpkg since it has been setup here.
However, even so, should there really be prefix locations that are
essentially "off limits" for openpkg installations?  It seems like the
option to set the prefix to /usr/local is there so it should be a usable
option.  I'm thinking the problem should be fixed within gcc.
