The patch that was so far added for documenting --with-zstd is pretty
minimal:
  - it refers to undocumented options --with-zstd-include and
    --with-zstd-lib;
  - it suggests that --with-zstd can be used without an argument;
  - it does not clarify how this option applies to cross-compilation.

How about adding the same details as for the --with-isl,
--with-isl-include, --with-isl-lib options, mutatis mutandis? This patch
does that.

 disabled.

+If you do not have the @code{zstd} library installed in a standard
+location and you want to build GCC, you can explicitly specify the
+directory where it is installed (@samp{--with-zstd=@/@var{zstdinstalldir}}).
+The @option{--with-zstd=@/@var{zstdinstalldir}} option is shorthand for
+@option{--with-zstd-lib=@/@var{zstdinstalldir}/lib} and
+@option{--with-zstd-include=@/@var{zstdinstalldir}/include}. If this
+shorthand assumption is not correct, you can use the explicit
+include and lib options directly.

+These flags are applicable to the host platform only.  When building
+a cross compiler, they will not be used to configure target libraries.
