- Are you talking about the same thing in the first place? AFAIUI, The Chief's issue is with `-B' options, yours with multiple directories in `--unit-path'. The union of both problems would be multiple dirs in a `-B' option, but AFAIK GPC doesn't allow that at all (though it allows multiple `-B' options, though I really wonder when someone should need them ...)
Actually my issue is not with "-B" options. The same problem happens even if you don't use any "-B" - indeed it happens whenever you install into somewhere different from the "prefix" directory (i.e., where you may have to use G*C_EXEC_PREFIX).

- If you get that warning, that means that GPC didn't need the `-B' because it found things anyway (as it should when installed correctly). Therefore, your other tests might not be very meaningful. You might want to try moving gpcpp.exe to a directory where GPC will not find it automatically.
Yes, that is why I told him that installing into "c:\mingw" will not present a good test result, because the prefix is "/mingw" and therefore in such cases, GPC will find all its files, and no "-B" (or G*C_EXEC_PREFIX) is required.
