Bug#330125: comaintenance offer

[Daniel Widenfalk <Daniel@lilla-graen.c.se>]

Hi all,

I'm sorry for the lengthy delay! I've been reading up on the Debian
Policy and the Developers Guide while trying to get a grip on the
toolchain-source package. A task not to be taken lightly! :-)

I have some questions to Hakan (mostly):

*) During the build phase, the file template.tgz is created from
   binutils-TARGET and gdb-TARGET. I cannot see when the gcc-TARGET
   directory is used, or how to build the template-gcc.tgz archive.
   How, and where is this done?

*) I've found multiple gcc-TARGET directories (./gcc-TARGET, and
   ./t/gcc-TARGET); which one is the right one? I think
   ./t/gcc-TARGET is an old checkout of gcc-3.4.3? In that case,
   why is it included in the source checkout?

*) I managed to grab gcc-4.0 after a bit of tweaking in
   /etc/apt/sources.list. I figure I should also get the relevant
   binutils, gdb and newlib sources?

I appreciate your help and understanding in that I might stumble in
the beginning...

Regards
/Daniel
