=== Linux Users building a System Compiler ===
Your distribution may ship its own patched GCC and Binutils that is customized to work on your particular Linux distribution. You may notshould be able to build a functional systemworking cross-compiler using the upstream sources you downloaded above. In that case, try a newer GCC release or get the patched source code., Forbut instance,you somemight GCCnot releasesbe are knownable to notbuild understand thea new Debiansystem multiarchcompiler directoryfor structure.your However,current ifLinux thedistribution. compilerIn wethat arecase, about to build istry a cross-compilernewer targettingGCC anotherrelease operatingor systemget (suchthe aspatched yoursource new one), then this is much less a worrycode.
