A 1k GCC patch is not the solution here, please revert to the version with the manual install commands. Sure, but that's just how building libraries with autotools/libtool works. Libraries that are built with libtool are always placed in a '.libs/' directory. The only ways to avoid the .libs directory are to either let automake generate the libtool specific install targets (what the patch does), or to remove libtool usage from Makefile.am all together, (which would result in an even bigger patch). I'm also not happy with the 1k patch, and I really don't want to add an additional dependency on automake within the gcc template, just for the sake of libbacktrace; so I'll revert it to using vinstall on .libs/libbacktrace.a
