I doubt people who are not familiar with gcc will have glibc installed
in a non-standard location :-)
Do you know of anybody other than you that has ever encountered the
problem you describe? Just curious :-)

Indeed. So can people like you. That's why I'm still a bit unsure
about whether this patch should result in a hard error by default.
I'm more inclined to a warning message followed by a `sleep 30', or
the testing or a variable such as `$enable_target_dir_sanity_checking
!= no', so that someone can skip this test with
--disable-target-dir-sanity-checking. What do you think?
