On a 6.3.x box, I use a script (shown below) so that each time you open a
terminal, run ". ./this_script" then you have environment set ready for your
running anything related to io-pkt. E.g, each "make install" will install
into your stage; each of running "ifconfig" or looking for a so library will
be using the one in your stage instead of the one on the host 6.3.x box. 

In the following script, I assume the stage is at /community/svn/stage. I
have my /community/svn/qconf-override.mk (shown below) point to the stage.
My script exports the QCONF_OVERRIDE pointing to the qconf-override. Modify
it to your case. No need to mention again that you should run ".
./your_script" instead of running "./your_script" because the later case
will set the environment to the child shell instead of the one you are
working on. 

Hope it be helpful. 

Thanks.

PS: (1) my script. 
#================ start ===============
export QCONF_OVERRIDE=/community/svn/qconf-override.mk
cm=/community/svn/stage/x86
export
PATH=$cm/bin:$cm/sbin:$cm/usr/bin:$cm/usr/sbin:$cm/usr/local/bin:$cm/usr/loc
al/sbin:$PATH
export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$cm/lib:$cm/lib/dll:$cm/usr/local/lib:/usr/qnx630/target/qnx
6/x86/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
#================ end =====================
(2) the qconf-override.mk. It contains the following two lines. 

INSTALL_ROOT_nto := /community/svn/stage
USE_ROOT_nto := /community/svn/stage

Hey!  We're getting closer...
If the stage is empty, then the problem is your QCONF_OVERRIDE likely isn't
being set properly.  It looks like things are still being placed in your
original location.  Are you setting the env vars in the same shell that
you're doing your build in?

Out of curiosity, are you using a qconf-override.mk file?
If you "echo $QCONF_OVERRIDE" does it indicate the correct qconf-override.mk
file? (Or does the file contain the correct values?)

If you copy paste the files, then have you copied all of the io-pkt
libsocket files into the directory?  You're still picking up the io-net
libsocket.

You were right Sean, MAKEFLAGS was not set correctly .
Now when I type make CPULIST=x86 install it just works out.
But I am still having problems.
When I type
USE_INSTALL_ROOT=1
INSTALL_ROOT_nto=/home/pc236/stage
I see that, after the compilation, stage is still empty.
And libsocket.so, for instance, is found in
/home/pc236/trunk/lib/socket/x86/so.
So I copy/paste from the trunk directory the necessary files into
/root/io-pkt then set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH to /root/io-pkt.
But  I still get with ifconfig 

bash-2.05a# ifconfig
unknown symbol: _in6addr_any
unknown symbol: get_media_options
unknown symbol: get_media_option_string
unknown symbol: get_media_mode_string
unknown symbol: get_media_subtype_string
unknown symbol: get_media_type_string
unknown symbol: ioctl_socket
unknown symbol: get_media_subtype
unknown symbol: get_media_mode
Could not resolve all symbols

bash-2.05a# echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Let me answer your questions:
Echo $QCONF_OVERRIDE do not contain anything.
I set the env vars in a different shell that the one I built in.
So I lose the content of MAKEFLAGS (and other env vars) but I thought it was not necessary anymore since the build was 
done.
I do not use any qconf-override.mk. And after the build, in my new shell
I cannot find any "qconf-override.mk".
Do you mean I have to set MAKEFLAGS, QCONF_OVERRIDE and , all of this in the same shell, build the source code ?
And finally what do you mean by copying all the io-pkt libsocket files in the directory ? As you can see, in my post 
just above (see cd /root/io-pkt),  I just copied libsocket.so in root/io-pkt is it not enough?
By the way, if there are other env vars to set, tell me. I am under the impressions that all my problems come from there
.
