GCC 4.8.1 will fail to compile on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu that has all the programs that Prerequisites in the Installation instructions lists. That I install some random package not needed to build C programs is not listed as a prerequisite in the documentation. I don't regard objecting to that is a matter of the world should change to suit me, rather as GCC not compiling on a system that it lists as a primary platform and is one of the most common targets for it. (It, BTW, does not suffice to add --disable-multilibs.) -- Kie ekzistas vivo, ekzistas espero.
