cross-ng building trys to copy files to '/' ?

[narkewoody at gmail dot com]

Hi,

I am building ARM toolchain using cross-ng on my Slackware Linux PC.
I've tried 1.17 and 1.18 - the two most recent release, but met the same
error in building (ct-ng build).  It seems, cross-ng was trying to
install some header files into my /usr/include and then failed because
it was not running as root.

Can anyone help me?  Below is the output:

...
