"easily" --- Where? Please point me.
* Full content of newer source is not published as PDF nor HTML.
(texinfo source only by upstream)
* What you find elsewhere on the web is not based on the latest source.
* Some content is not applicable to Debian especially after multi-arch.
Debian patch fix it.
* This is the best introductory tutorial for people who is going to
learn GCC. (I do not call GCC manual as tutorial)
* This tutorial is blessed by RMS (Negative is this is GFDL with
invariant like RMS's manuals from GNU.)
Regards,
Osamu
