+Building fontutils with GCC 4.5.2 doesn't require a seperate GCC installation 
+but it is recommended that if you are using a GNU/Linux distribution with a 
+different version of GCC that you install a new version into a self-contained 
+directory. 
+
+After you have successfully installed a self-contained version of GCC 4.5.2 
+then try:
+
+CC="/opt/gcc/install/bin/gcc" LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/mpc/install/lib:/opt/mpfr/install/lib:/opt/gmp/install/lib" ./configure
+
+CC="/opt/gcc/install/bin/gcc" LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/mpc/install/lib:/opt/mpfr/install/lib:/opt/gmp/install/lib" make
+
+You might need to install the xt and xaw development libraries.  
+On Debian GNU/Linux:
+
+apt-get install libxt-dev libxaw7-dev
