Yes, but not everyone. And even people that read the docs can miss the info if they can't figure out which part of the docs they are supposed to be looking at.
If you don't want people sending bug reports like this, then you idiot proof it by adding a configure test. Maybe even something like the attached.

not quite right. It is completely sufficient to have something equal or above cctools-528 for building gcc-4.0:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-08/msg00104.html
cctools-576 are only needed to build HEAD:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-03/msg01149.html :
"It's not necessary to upgrade cctools to use 4.0, since the features that need the cctools fixes aren't there."
And btw.: cctools-576 have a bug which causes regressions if you want to use the FSF Objective-C runtime:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2005-04/msg00798.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2005-04/msg00949.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20959
Their fail vim building at least too.
