Hello Jeff,

Two questions:

(1) When you say "all", are you suggesting that in-the-gcc-tree builds of gmp, 
mpfr, mpc, and isl should no longer be documented?  Or only in-tree builds of 
binutils?

(2) Is there any truth to the suggestion (found in some google tracks) that 
when building a cross-compiler, it is easier to build binutils in the same 
tree?   For example

https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Building_Cross_Toolchains_with_gcc
https://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/simtest-howto.html 
https://stackoverflow.com/a/6228588

It is out of respect for existing user habit that I proposed merely demoting it 
to an "alternative" method (while "recommending" the separate build).
