+ <p>
+ The binary versions of the GCC front end may not suit all of your needs.
+ For example, the binary distribution may include an old version of a system
+ header file, not "fix" a header file that needs to be fixed for GCC, or it
+ may be linked with libraries not available on your system.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ In cases like these, you may want to try
+ <a href="CFEBuildInstrs.html">building the GCC front end from source.</a>
+ This is not for the faint of heart, so be forewarned.
