8 I couldn't use GCC 4.3.1 because it needs gmp, and the bootstrap
9 instructions use --nodeps at this point, so I decided to go with 4.2.4,
10 even though I was tempted to unleash 4.3.1.

15 Hmmm, I just did a standard install, so got gcc and gmake by default.

23 Hmmm, I didn't need that, perhaps because your system was very clean.

27 Probably the same reason

32 Sounds logical as they are dependencies.

34 Thanks!
