If I install another GCC version besides the one that comes with the
base system one (3.4.4) it will get approximately the same directory
layout as on Linux. But the current config magic would probably find /
usr/lib/, though.

Note that stat on FreeBSD and NetBSD (dunno about OpenBSD) does exactly
the same thing as the stat on, say, RedHat, but with completely
different syntax. Shell coding is a nightmare...
