+HOW TO BUILD A CROSS COMPILER
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+[Section to be written.]
+
+
+IMPORTED VERSIONS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The following software is in gnusrc/gnu/dist/toolchain, in a unified build
+structure:
+
+    gcc-2.95.2
+    binutils-2.10
+    gdb-5.0
+
+
+IMPORT STEPS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+1. All distributions were unpacked and all `.cvsignore' files were
+   removed.
+
+2. All files in gcc's `include' top level directory were removed from
+   binutils's `include' top level directory (these are the libiberty
+   include files).
+
+   cd gcc-*/include; for f in *; do rm -f ../../binutils-*/include/$f; done
+
+3. The gcc distribution was imported in one shot into
+   gnusrc/gnu/dist/toolchain, including the recursive build structure.
+
+4. The binutils distribution was stripped down to the following directories,
+   with no files at the top level:
+
+   bfd, binutils, gas, gprof, include, intl, ld, opcodes
+
+5. Binutils was imported into gnusrc/gnu/dist/toolchain, which included
+   only the subdirectories above.
+
+6. The gdb distribution was stripped down to the following directories,
+   with no files at the top level:
+
+   gdb, mmalloc, readline, sim
+
+7. Gdb was imported into gnusrc/gnu/dist/toolchain, which included only
+   the subdirectories above.
