configure:
Make sure cc (gcc is _not_ enough, eventually make a symlink from gcc to
cc) is in your PATH or start configure with "CC=/path/to/your/ccompiler
configure", otherwise config.guess will guess wrong for some native
platforms (notably alpha and powerpc), but configure will success cause it
finds gcc later.

ix86-*-linux-gnu*:
typo, it should be binutils-2.8.1.0.15

powerpc-*-linux-gnu*:
You will need binutils-2.8.1.0.17 available from
< ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/private/hjl > for a working egcs. It is strongly
recommended to recompile binutils with egcs if you initially built it with
gcc-2.7.2.*.

Bye,
Franz.
