+### Supported Versions of Source Packages
+
+The following ones are known to work.  Others may work as well, but no
+guarantee is given.  Always the preferred version is listed first.
+
+* `src/binutils`: [GNU Binutils](http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/)
+
+    * CVS `binutils-2_18-branch`
+
+            $ cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/src \
+                co -r binutils-2_18-branch binutils
+            $ mv src binutils-2_18-branch
+
+    * The 2.18 release tarball from <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/> should
+        also be fine, as should be all other recent releases.
+
+* `src/gcc`: [GNU Compiler Collection](http://gcc.gnu.org/)
+
+    * SVN `gcc-4_1-branch`
+
+            $ svn co svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/gcc-4_1-branch
+
+    * Recent releases of the 4.1 series from <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/>
+        should also be fine.
+
+    Support for the 4.2 series (`gcc-4_2-branch`) and the upcoming 4.3 series
+    (`trunk`) is being worked on.

+
+    * SVN `gcc-4_2-branch` plus patches.

+            $ svn co svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/gcc-4_2-branch
+
+        TODO.  patches: libiberty (?!), config.
+
+    For building recent version of GCC (e.g., the upcoming 4.3) you'll need to
+    have development packages of GMP and MPFR (for the *build* system)
+    installed.
