- If you are building your own compiler, some users prefer to have a
- Spack instance just for that. For example, create a new Spack in
- ``~/spack-tools`` and then run ``~/spack-tools/bin/spack install
- gcc@4.9.3``. Once the compiler is built, don't build anything
- more in that Spack instance; instead, create a new "real" Spack
- instance, configure Spack to use the compiler you've just built,
- and then build your application software in the new Spack
- instance. Following this tip makes it easy to delete all your
- Spack packages *except* the compiler.
