@file{gcc} directory, the one where the @file{MAINTAINERS} can be found,
and not its @file{gcc} subdirectory, otherwise the build will fail.
First, we @strong{highly} recommend that GCC be built into a
separate directory than the sources which does @strong{not} reside
within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building
where @var{srcdir} == @var{objdir} should still work, but doesn't
get extensive testing; building where @var{objdir} is a subdirectory
of @var{srcdir} is unsupported.
First, in general, GCC @strong{must} be built into a separate directory
than the sources which does @strong{not} reside within the source tree.
This is how almost all developers build GCC; building where @var{srcdir}
== @var{objdir} is completely unsupported; building where @var{objdir}
is a subdirectory of @var{srcdir} is completely unsupported.
If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a
different target machine, do @samp{make distclean} to delete all files
