<div dir="ltr"><div>Just one stylistic comment: I think it'd be worthwhile to point out how the gcc-final build differs from the gcc-static build. I know it is pointed out in the introduction, but it might be helpful to reiterate what is going on. I found myself pausing to make sure that there wasn't just a problem in the book since I had just built gcc and now I was suddenly building it again with what appeared to be an identical procedure (it's hard to mentally diff long strings of configure flags). </div>
