Hi Jeff, not sure what you mean by "all", please can you clarify?

Two questions:
(1) When you say "all", are you suggesting that in-the-gcc-tree builds of
gmp, mpfr, mpc, and isl should no longer be documented? Or only in-tree builds
of binutils?
(2) Is there any truth to the suggestion (found in some google tracks) that
when building a cross-compiler, it is easier to build binutils in the same
tree? For example

It is out of respect for existing user habit that I proposed merely
demoting it to an "alternative" method (while "recommending" the separate
build).
