of configure is not what you were expecting.
112
./configure -prefix /usr/bin
123
Standard installation in /usr/{bin,lib,man} instead of /usr/local:
124
./configure -prefix /usr

On a MacOSX/Intel Core 2 or MacOSX/PowerPC host, to build a 64-bit version
131
./configure -cc "gcc -m64"
133
On a Linux x86/64 bits host, to build a 32-bit version of OCaml:
134
./configure -cc "gcc -m32" -as "as --32" -aspp "gcc -m32 -c"

./configure -cc "acc -fast" -libs "-lucb"
115
# For Sun Solaris with the acc compiler
