Just so I don't loose any more time on silly mistakes, can I have a setup
like:


binutils-2.14/
binutils-i386-elf/
binutils-m68k-elf/
binutils-ppc-elf/
binutils-sparc-elf/

then from each of the elf dirs, do a

../binutils-2.14/configure --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as \
         --enable-64-bit-bfd --enable-shared --target=whatever-elf

when I do the final make install will the libraries overwrite eachother?

Also, why even have the option --enable-targets=something,someelse if it
only works to setup cross platforms on ld and not as?
