and not its @file{gcc} subdirectory, otherwise the build will fail.

-within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building

+First, in general, GCC @strong{must} be built into a separate directory
+than the sources which does @strong{not} reside within the source tree.
+This is how almost all developers build GCC; building where @var{srcdir}
+== @var{objdir} is completely unsupported; building where @var{objdir}
+is a subdirectory of @var{srcdir} is completely unsupported.
If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a
different target machine, do @samp{make distclean} to delete all files
@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

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.
@end example
Currently, you can use any of the following:
@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.

@section Building the Ada compiler
In order to build GNAT, the Ada compiler, you need a working GNAT

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

Additional build tools (such as @command{gnatmake}) or a working GNAT

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