+Building egcs-1.0 
+
+Now that egcs is configured, you are ready to build the compiler and
+runtime libraries.
+
+We highly recommend that egcs be built using gnu-make; other
+versions make work, then again they might not.  To be safe build with gnu-make.
+
+Building a native compiler
+For a native build issue the command "make bootstrap".  This will build
+the entire egcs compiler system, which includes the following steps:
+
+
+  Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo, bison,
+  gperf.
+
+  Build target tools for use by the compiler such as gas, gld, and binutils.
+
+  Perform a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler.
+
+  Perform a comparison test of the stage2 and stage3 compilers.
+
+  Build runtime libraries using the stage3 compiler from the previous step.
+
+
+If you are short on disk space you might consider "make bootstrap-lean"
+instead.  This is identical to "make bootstrap" except that object files
+from the stage1 and stage2 of the 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler are
+deleted as soon as they are no longer needed.
+
+Building a cross compiler
+
+We recommend reading the crossgcc FAQ for information about building
+cross compilers.
+"ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/embedded/crossgcc/FAQ-0.8.1"
+
+For a cross build, issue the command "make cross", which performs the
+following steps:
+
+  Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo, bison,
+  gperf.
+
+  Build target tools for use by the compiler such as gas, gld, and binutils.
+
+  Build the compiler (single stage only).
+
+  Build runtime libraries using the compiler from the previous step.
+
+
+Note that if an error occurs in any step the make process will exit.
