GCC Backend on GNU/Linux with GCC/GNAT
######################################
-.. HINT:: There are some dependencies for building GCC (``gmp``, ``mpfr`` and ``mpc``). If you have not them installed on your system, you can either build them manually or use the ``download_prerequisites`` script provided in the GCC source tree (recommended): ``cd /path/to/gcc/source/dir && ./contrib/download_prerequisites``.
