+<h1 align="center">Building egcs-1.0</h1>
+
+<p>Now that egcs is configured, you are ready to build the compiler and
+runtime libraries.
+
+<p>We <b>highly</b> recommend that egcs be built using gnu-make; other
+versions make work, then again they might not.  To be safe build with gnu-make.
+
+<p><b>Building a native compiler</b>
+<p>For a native build issue the command "make bootstrap".  This will build
+the entire egcs compiler system, which includes the following steps:
+
+<ul>
+  <li> Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo, bison,
+  gperf.<p>
+
+  <li> Build target tools for use by the compiler such as gas, gld, and
+  binutils.<p>
+
+  <li> Perform a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler.<p>
+
+  <li> Perform a comparison test of the stage2 and stage3 compilers.<p>
+
+  <li> Build runtime libraries using the stage3 compiler from the previous
+  step.<p>
+</ul>
+
+<p>If you are short on disk space you might consider "make bootstrap-lean"
+instead.  This is identical to "make bootstrap" except that object files
+from the stage1 and stage2 of the 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler are
+deleted as soon as they are no longer needed.
+
+<p><b>Building a cross compiler</b>
+
+<p> We recommend reading the
+<a href="ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/embedded/crossgcc/FAQ-0.8.1">
+crossgcc FAQ</a> for information about building cross compilers.
+
+<p>For a cross build, issue the command "make cross", which performs the
+following steps:
+<ul>
+  <li> Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo, bison,
+  gperf.<p>
+
+  <li> Build target tools for use by the compiler such as gas, gld, and
+  binutils.<p>
+
+  <li> Build the compiler (single stage only).<p>
+
+  <li> Build runtime libraries using the compiler from the previous
+  step.<p>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Note that if an error occurs in any step the make process will exit.
