Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for the feedback. Regarding the linked page <
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC>
if you're referring to the part that tells you to use your distro's package
manager, yes that's indeed the simplest way to install GCC, but from pre-built
binaries, not building directly from sources. But if you're referring to the
example at the bottom of the page, this script does exactly that, but the build
process is automated based on the build configuration file.

Thanks again,
Wil
