For the ChangeLog I would just say "--with-gmp etc. are not needed if...", omitting the "State that" which is implied for docs. +subdirectory of your GCC sources named @file{gmp}, it will be built +together with GCC, this avoids the need to build GMP separately. +Alternatively, if GMP is already installed but it is not in your How about "GCC(full stop). This avoids the need", that is, making the latter a sentence of its own? Or just omit this? Same for the other two libraries. -If you do not have GMP (the GNU Multiple Precision library), the MPFR -library and/or the MPC library installed in a standard location and -you want to build GCC, you can explicitly specify the directory where +If you want to build GCC but do not have GMP (the GNU Multiple Precision +library), the MPFR library and/or the MPC library installed in a +standard location and don't have their sources present in the GCC +source tree then you can explicitly specify the directory where "don't" -> "do not" And I would avoid the expansion of GMP in parenthesis, given how late we are in the document and all the prior uses. I acknowledge this predates you changes, but while we are at it. :-) The patch is fine with these changes. Thank you! Gerald
