Hi Mark,

I couldn't get the same thing to happen on new install of Open Suse,
gcc places all files under lib (with or without --libdir). I didn't
find any site config files, but this:

http://www.gnu.org/s/hello/manual/autoconf/Site-Defaults.html

suggests that it's a possible culprit somewhere in your setup. SInce
the --libdir fix seems to work, it's probably not worth investigating
further (unless there's some other silent errors).

Cheers,

Tony
