41977 gerald First, we @strong{highly} recommend that GCC be built into a
41977 gerald separate directory than the sources which does @strong{not} reside
41977 gerald within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC;
building
41977 gerald where @emph{srcdir} == @emph{objdir} should still work, but
doesn't
41977 gerald get extensive testing; building where @emph{objdir} is a
subdirectory
41977 gerald of @emph{srcdir} is unsupported.

We strive to document every single step of the configure and build procedure,
every single bug we run into on exotic platforms and every single workaround
we find. I think it's fair to expect the user to do us the favour of reading
the documentation before reporting a problem.
