------- Comment #1 from pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-08-24 21:29 ------- Well it is not prohibited, it is supported to do the build in the src directory, just not recommended as it is not tested really and can (I think 4.3.x has a bug dealing with fixed includes) be broken even for releases.
