What do you, mean by this?,
I was running the bison 3.0 make command and it was trying to build 
something for the test suite (which we don't run in cross-tools), and 
because I renamed the /cross-tools dir, it complained it couldn't find 
m4, furthering my investigation into hard coded paths, prepending M4=m4 
in the cross-tools phase fixed it

This was a while ago, when i was playing around with lto, but I did 
notice that something in a KDE build needed it, but might not now, no 
worries

Yes but in the book we have ./configure --prefix=/usr,
we need ./configure --prefix=/usr  --libdir=/lib
