The first, I think. > I prefer the latter one of avoid duplicating the info in more than one > place. If prerequisites needs more info, I'll fill in there better. I think the primary goal should be making it as simple and obvious as possible for people to build gcc. If that can be done without duplicating information, that is good. But the primary goal should be making it very very easy to build gcc. If we encounter the problem whose solution is "download mpfr from gcc.gnu.org and untar it," then I don't think it helps to point people to the long list at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html, which is irrelevant for most people.
