+This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).
+
+The GNU Compiler Collection is free software. See the files whose
+names start with COPYING for copying permission. The manuals, and
+some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the
+individual source files for details.
+
+The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information
+as HTML and plain text. The source of this information is
+gcc/doc/install.texi. The installation information includes details
+of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs.
+
+See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it
+includes) for usage and porting information. An online readable
+version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*.
+
+See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully.
