Now, don't I feel like the stupid student! :-) I was a little to 
occupied serving my easter-dinner-guests - so I just copied it without 
thinking :-)

Having scanned the man-page I'm still a bit confused abouts it's doing. 
It's seems like I have to indicate each and every directory containing 
binaries in question explicitly.

But perhaps the only directory in question is the one containing the 
final crosscompilers "/opt/crosstool/blahblah/bin"?
I don't think it's obvious which executable is the one causing the 
"execvp" overflow - maybe "/usr/bin/install.exe"?

Sorry for my rapid execution...

BR,
 Martin
