Installation of arch-specific directory

[Winston Smith]

Hi,

I did that:

binutils-2.32-build$ ../binutils-2.32/configure --prefix=/usr

I still end up with /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. As far as I know, this directory is not part of the binary packages for most distributions, so I presume this is not even required unless I cross-compile?

Regards,
Winston

You need to pass `--prefix` and the path where you want to have your
installation when configuring.

Cheers,
