  46     <para>GCC requires the GMP, MPFR and MPC packages. As these packages may
  47     not be included in your host distribution, they will be built with
  48     GCC.  Unpack each package into the GCC source directory and rename the
  49     resulting directories so the GCC build procedures will automatically
  50     use them:</para>

 192     <para>This build of GCC has installed a couple of internal system
 193     headers.  Normally one of them, <filename>limits.h</filename>, would in turn
 194     include the corresponding system <filename>limits.h</filename> header, in
 195     this case, <filename>$LFS/usr/include/limits.h</filename>. However, at the
 196     time of this build of GCC <filename>$LFS/usr/include/limits.h</filename>
 197     does not exist, so the internal header that has just been installed is a
 198     partial, self-contained file and does not include the extended features of
 199     the system header. This is adequate for building glibc, but the full
 200     internal header will be needed later.  Create a full version of the internal
 201     header using a command that is identical to what the GCC build system does
