Website suggestion: GCC installation

[From Laura]

Hello GNU person, thank you for all the free software - what an awesome 
thing.  I am new to all of this.  I went to install Apache and found out I 
needed GCC.  Here is a suggestion on how to dumb-down the GCC installation 
instructions.  On this page...

  http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html

... specifically in regards to this line:  "We use srcdir to refer to the 
toplevel source directory for GCC; we use objdir to refer to the toplevel 
build/object directory. "

... I am embarrassed to say that I do not know what you mean when you refer 
to objdir and srcdir.  You may want to just define them such as:

"srcdir is the directory that gets created when..." or, "you can name srcdir 
what ever you wish ..." or "srcdir is typically usr/local/xyz..."

I hope no one getting is on the ground roaring at this point but we all 
gotta start somewhere!

Thanks for the feedback "button",

Laura
