Why is this description so unclear? Do you think it would help to
change it to:
| We use @var{srcdir} to refer to the toplevel source directory for
| GCC (populated with the contents of the distribution tarball, or a
| checked-out copy from the GCC CVS); we use @var{objdir} to refer to
| the toplevel build/object directory (in which the files generated
| during the build process will reside).
