     86 <p>GCC is distributed via <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/git.html">git</a> and via
     87 HTTPS as tarballs compressed with <code>gzip</code> or <code>bzip2</code>.
     88 </p>
     89 <p>Please refer to the <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html">releases web page</a>
     90 for information on how to obtain GCC.
     91 </p>
     92 <p>The source distribution includes the C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran,
     93 and Ada (in the case of GCC 3.1 and later) compilers, as well as
     94 runtime libraries for C++, Objective-C, and Fortran.
     95 For previous versions these were downloadable as separate components such
     96 as the core GCC distribution, which included the C language front end and
     97 shared components, and language-specific distributions including the
     98 language front end and the language runtime (where appropriate).
     99 </p>
    100 <p>If you also intend to build binutils (either to upgrade an existing
    101 installation or for use in place of the corresponding tools of your
    102 OS), unpack the binutils distribution either in the same directory or
    103 a separate one.  In the latter case, add symbolic links to any
    104 components of the binutils you intend to build alongside the compiler
    105 (<samp>bfd</samp>, <samp>binutils</samp>, <samp>gas</samp>, <samp>gprof</samp>, <samp>ld</samp>,
    106 <samp>opcodes</samp>, &hellip;) to the directory containing the GCC sources.
    107 </p>
    108 <p>Likewise the GMP, MPFR and MPC libraries can be automatically built
    109 together with GCC.  You may simply run the
    110 <code>contrib/download_prerequisites</code> script in the GCC source directory
    111 to set up everything.
    112 Otherwise unpack the GMP, MPFR and/or MPC source
    113 distributions in the directory containing the GCC sources and rename
    114 their directories to <samp>gmp</samp>, <samp>mpfr</samp> and <samp>mpc</samp>,
    115 respectively (or use symbolic links with the same name).
