It'd be so much easier to
... actually look in the documentation: info gccint "Source Tree", or the GCC wiki, e.g. <http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Top-Level_Bootstrap>, lists the more important targets. FWIW, I don't think duplicating information also in the Makefile(.am) will help the developer keep things more consistent and complete. Cheers, Ralf
