To configure GCC:
@heading Options specification
Use @var{options} to override several configure time options for
-GCC@. A partial list of supported @var{options}:
+GCC@. A list of supported @var{options} follows; @command{configure
+--help} may list other options, but those not listed below may not
+work and should not normally be used.
@table @code
@item --prefix=@var{dirname}
@end table
+@item --program-prefix=@var{prefix}
+GCC supports some transformations of the names of its programs when
+installing them. This option prepends @var{prefix} to the names of
+programs to install in @var{bindir} (see above). For example, specifying
+@option{--program-prefix=foo-} would result in @samp{gcc}
+being installed as @file{/usr/local/bin/foo-gcc}.
+
+@item --program-suffix=@var{suffix}
+Appends @var{suffix} to the names of programs to install in @var{bindir}
+(see above). For example, specifying @option{--program-suffix=-3.1}
+would result in @samp{gcc} being installed as
+@file{/usr/local/bin/gcc-3.1}.
+
+@item --program-transform-name=@var{pattern}
+Applies the @samp{sed} script @var{pattern} to be applied to the names
+of programs to install in @var{bindir} (see above). @var{pattern} has to
+consist of one or more basic @samp{sed} editing commands, separated by
+semicolons. For example, if you want the @samp{gcc} program name to be
+transformed to the installed program @file{/usr/local/bin/myowngcc} and
+the @samp{g++} program name to be transformed to
+@file{/usr/local/bin/gspecial++} without changing other program names,
+you could use the pattern
+@option{--program-transform-name='s/^gcc$/myowngcc/; s/^g++$/gspecial++/'}
+to achieve this effect.
+
+All three options can be combined and used together, resulting in more
+complex conversion patterns. As a basic rule, @var{prefix} (and
+@var{suffix}) are prepended (appended) before further transformations
+can happen with a special transformation script @var{pattern}.
+
+As currently implemented, this options only take effect for native
+builds; cross compiler binaries' names are not transformed even when a
+transformation is explicitly asked for by one of this options.
+
+For native builds, some of the installed programs are also installed
+with the target alias in front of their name, as in
+@samp{i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc}. All of the above transformations happen
+before the target alias is prepended to the name - so, specifying
+@option{--program-prefix=foo-} and @option{program-suffix=-3.1}, the
+resulting binary would be installed as
+@file{/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-foo-gcc-3.1}.
+
+As a last shortcoming, none of the installed Ada programs are
+transformed yet, which will be fixed in some time.
+
@item --with-local-prefix=@var{dirname}
Specify the
installation directory for local include files. The default is
directory, where @var{exec_prefix} defaults to @var{prefix} which
defaults to @file{/usr/local} unless overridden by the
@option{--prefix=@var{pathname}} switch described above. @var{target} is the
-target system triple, such as @var{sparc-sun-solaris2.7}, and
+target system triple, such as @samp{sparc-sun-solaris2.7}, and
@var{version} denotes the GCC version, such as 3.0.

want to use @option{--with-as} if no assembler is installed in the

+

+aix64, pthread, softfloat, powercpu, powerpccpu, powerpcos, biendian,

for a complete list of supported models.
+@item --enable-altivec
+Specify that the target supports AltiVec vector enhancements. This
+option will adjust the ABI for AltiVec enhancements, as well as generate
+AltiVec code when appropriate. This option is only available for
+PowerPC systems.
+
@item --enable-target-optspace
Specify that target
libraries should be optimized for code space instead of code speed.
grep language= */config-lang.in
@end example
Currently, you can use any of the following:
-@code{c}, @code{c++}, @code{f77}, @code{java} and @code{objc}.

+@code{ada}, @code{c}, @code{c++}, @code{f77}, @code{java}, @code{objc}.
+Building the Ada compiler has special requirements, see below.@*
If you do not pass this flag, all languages available in the @file{gcc}
sub-tree will be configured. Re-defining @code{LANGUAGES} when calling
@samp{make bootstrap} @strong{does not} work anymore, as those
ignores @code{catgets} and instead uses GCC's copy of the GNU
@code{gettext} library. The @option{--with-catgets} option causes the
build procedure to use the host's @code{catgets} in this situation.
+
+@item --with-libiconv-prefix=@var{dir}
+Search for libiconv header files in @file{@var{dir}/include} and
+libiconv library files in @file{@var{dir}/lib}.
+
+@item --with-system-zlib
+Use installed zlib rather than that included with GCC@. This option
+only applies if the Java front end is being built.
+
+@item --enable-obsolete
+Enable configuration for an obsoleted system. If you attempt to
+configure GCC for a system (build, host, or target) which has been
+obsoleted, and you do not specify this flag, configure will halt with an
+error message.
+
+All support for systems which have been obsoleted in one release of GCC
+is removed entirely in the next major release, unless someone steps
+forward to maintain the port.

+cross compiler. The installed native compiler needs to be GCC version
+2.95 or later.
Assuming you have already installed a native copy of GCC and configured
your cross compiler, issue the command @command{make}, which performs the
you like. In most cases, it won't help to use a number bigger than
the number of processors in your machine.
+@section Building the Ada compiler
+
+In order to build GNAT, the Ada compiler, you need a working GNAT
+compiler (GNAT version 3.13 or later, or GCC version 3.1 or later),
+since the Ada front end is written in Ada (with some
+GNAT-specific extensions), and GNU make.
+
+However, you do not need a full installation of GNAT, just the GNAT
+binary @file{gnat1}, a copy of @file{gnatbind}, and a compiler driver
+which can deal with Ada input (by invoking the @file{gnat1} binary).
+You can specify this compiler driver by setting the @env{ADAC}
+environment variable at the configure step. @command{configure} can
+detect the driver automatically if it has got a common name such as
+@command{gcc} or @command{gnatgcc}. Of course, you still need a working
+C compiler (the compiler driver can be different or not).
+@command{configure} does not test whether the GNAT installation works
+and has a sufficiently recent version; if too old a GNAT version is
+installed, the build will fail unless @option{--enable-languages} is
+used to disable building the Ada front end.
+
+Additional build tools (such as @command{gnatmake}) or a working GNAT
+run-time library installation are usually @emph{not} required. However,
+if you want to boostrap the compiler using a minimal version of GNAT,
+you have to issue the following commands before invoking @samp{make
+boostrap} (this assumes that you start with an unmodified and consistent
+source distribution):
+
+@example
+ cd @var{srcdir}/gcc/ada
+ touch treeprs.ads [es]info.h nmake.ad[bs]
+@end example
+
+At the moment, the GNAT library and several tools for GNAT are not built
+by @samp{make bootstrap}. You have to invoke
+@samp{make gnatlib_and_tools} in the @file{@var{objdir}/gcc}
+subdirectory before proceeding with the next steps.
+
+For example, you can build a native Ada compiler by issuing the
+following commands (assuming @command{make} is GNU make):
+
+@example
+ cd @var{objdir}
+ @var{srcdir}/configure --enable-languages=c,ada
+ cd @var{srcdir}/gcc/ada
+ touch treeprs.ads [es]info.h nmake.ad[bs]
+ cd @var{objdir}
+ make bootstrap
+ cd gcc
+ make gnatlib_and_tools
+ cd ..
+@end example
+
+Currently, when compiling the Ada front end, you cannot use the parallel
+build feature described in the previous section.

@cindex Installing GCC: Testing
@cindex Testsuite
-Before you install GCC, you might wish to run the testsuite. This
-step is optional and may require you to download additional software.
+Before you install GCC, we encourage you to run the testsuites and to
+compare your results with results from a similar configuration that have
+been submitted to the

+This step is optional and may require you to download additional software,
+but it can give you confidence in your new GCC installation or point out
+problems before you install and start using your new GCC.
First, you must have @uref{download.html,,downloaded the testsuites}.

-``core'' compiler plus any front ends, you do not have the testsuites.
+These are part of the full distribution, but if you downloaded the
