Hi, Thanks for the clear and concise instructions.  I'm building gcc-14,
and have a small suggestion.

Kind regards,
Roosh42

*Webpage to update:*
https://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html

*Suggestion:*
Add curl as one of the prerequisites

*Reason:*
It is needed for ./contrib/download_prerequisites

*Possible HTML to add to "Tools/packages necessary for building GCC":*
<dt>curl</dt>
<dd><p>
If you use <code>./contrib/download_prerequisites</code> to download local
copies of some prerequisites listed below (e.g. GMP, MPFR, MPC, ISL,
gettext), the script will use curl.
</p>
</dd>

*Extra reasoning:*
By adding this just before the list of deps, it is more likely that readers
will become aware that they can take the easy-path* of downloading these
via the contrib script, rather than trying to build/install them into their
system.
