Re: gcc3 - building and installing with ditto

Isn't "ditto build/dst /" equivalent to "rsync -aH build/dst/ /"?

Not exactly, but similar enough for these purposes.

For the curious, ditto is an optimized "back to back tar" ... from the old days (before tar had a -C option, etc):
(cd build/dst && tar cf -)|(cd / && tar xf -)

make that xvf if you want progress info. Back to back tar should be equivalent to ditto for most purposes (aside from ditto -rsrc[Fork]).
