    <title>Installation of GCC</title>

    <para>As in the first build of GCC, the GMP, MPFR, and MPC packages are
    required. Unpack the tarballs and move them into the required directory
    names:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="pre">tar -xf ../mpfr-&mpfr-version;.tar.xz
mv -v mpfr-&mpfr-version; mpfr
tar -xf ../gmp-&gmp-version;.tar.xz
mv -v gmp-&gmp-version; gmp
tar -xf ../mpc-&mpc-version;.tar.gz
mv -v mpc-&mpc-version; mpc</userinput></screen>

    <para>If building on x86_64, change the default directory name for 64-bit
    libraries to <quote>lib</quote>:</para>

    <para>Create a separate build directory again:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="pre">mkdir -v build
cd       build</userinput></screen>

    <para>Create a symlink that allos libgcc to be built with posix threads
    support:</para>

    variables that override the default optimization flags.</para>

      <title>The meaning of the new configure options:</title><!-- WIP -->

      <varlistentry>
        <term><parameter>-with-build-sysroot=$LFS</parameter></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>Normally, using <parameter>--host=</parameter> ensures that
          a cross-compiler is used for building gcc, and that compiler knows
          that it has to look for headers and libraries in <filename
          class="directory">$LFS</filename>. But the build system of GCC uses
          other tools, which are not aware of this location. This switch is
          needed to have them find the needed files in <filename
          class="directory">$LFS</filename>, and not on the host.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><parameter>--enable-initfini-array</parameter></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>This option is automatically enabled when building a native
          compiler with a native compiler on x86. But here, we build with
          a cross compiler, so we need to explicitely set this option.</para>

    <para>Install the package:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">make DESTDIR=$LFS install</userinput></screen>

    <para>As a finishing touch, create a symlink. Many programs and scripts
    run <command>cc</command> instead of <command>gcc</command>, which is
    used to keep programs generic and therefore usable on all kinds of UNIX
    systems where the GNU C compiler is not always installed. Running
    <command>cc</command> leaves the system administrator free to decide
    which C compiler to install:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">ln -sv gcc $LFS/usr/bin/cc</userinput></screen>
