 Sorry, I think that I must be being exceptionally obtuse.  I don't know
 what "Yes, the installer does it automatically ..." means.  You are right
 that I mean the symlinks to gcc &c.; and, indeed, I understand that the
 installer expects to find the tools in /usr, but was just wondering why it
 has to be that way, rather than allowing it to look in a user-specified
 directory.  Maybe it's just prohibitively hard --I don't know.
