-An overview of steps required to switch to a new GCC version.
-
-1. Get the MinGW build of this version and get configuration
-   flags (gcc -v). The idea is to build both the cross-compiler
-   and the native compiler (with linked-in ODB plugin) as close
-   to the MinGW configuration as possible.
-
-2. Build the cross-compiler:
-
-   1. Backup old cross/mingw to cross/mingw-X.Y.Z.
-   2. Cleanup old GCC files from cross/mingw.
-   3. Unpack GCC, rename to gcc-cross, create or clean gcc-cross-build.
-   4. Adapt older gcc-X.Y.Z-mingw-cross.patch (--dry-run) and apply.
-   5. Adapt gcc-cross-configure.
-   6. Build & install:
-
-      cd gcc-cross-build
-      ../gcc-cross-configure
-      make -j 16
-      make install
-
-   7. Clean up .so & .la files from cross/mingw/lib/gcc/i686-mingw/X.Y.Z
-      (we still seem to have to build with --enable-shared for exceptions
-       to work).
-   8. Check that the compiler works. Compile and run sizeof_funds.cxx and
-      throw.cxx. There should be no auto-importing (see step 7).
-
-3. Build the native compiler:
-
-  1. Unpack GCC, rename to gcc, create or clean gcc-build.
-  2. Adapt older gcc-X.Y.Z-mingw.patch (--dry-run) and apply.
-  3. Adapt older gcc-X.Y.Z-static-plugin.patch (--dry-run) and apply.
-     This step will probably require careful review of changes in the
-     plugin code (plugin.h and plugin.c).
-  4. Regegerate configure script in gcc/gcc/. Use the same autoconf
-     version as in the original (see ~/build/autocond-X.Y). For example:
-
-     sudo make -C ~/build/autoconf-2.64 install
-     autoconf --version
-     cd gcc
-     autoconf
-     sudo make -C ~/build/autoconf-2.64 uninstall
-
-  4. Adapt gcc-configure.
-  5. Configure and make GCC manually:
-
-     export PATH=`pwd`/cross/mingw/bin:$PATH
-     cd gcc-build
-     ../gcc-configure
-     make -j 16
-
-     This step will fail due to lack of libplugin-stub.a. That's
-     ok. Copy .h and .def files from gcc-build/gcc/ to gcc-headers/
-     (backup old ones).
-
-4. Run the build-dist script with -rebuild
-
-   1. If GCC build fails, then it can be re-configured or re-made
-      directly from the gcc-build directory provided you don't
-      clean it up (if you do so, you can manually copy libplugin-stub.a
-      to gcc-build/gcc/).
-
-   2. Check the package for any stray directories/files.
-
-   3. On Windows, check that:
-
-      - Compiler, including exceptions, work. Compile and run sizeof_funds.cxx
-        and throw.cxx.
-
-      - Make sure ODB runs, including throwing exceptions (run on object
-        with private data members).
-
-5. Copy updates/patches to odb/etc/.
