-This README file is copied into the directory for GCC-only header files
-when fixincludes is run by the makefile for GCC.
-
-Many of the files in this directory were automatically edited from the
-standard system header files by the fixincludes process. They are
-system-specific, and will not work on any other kind of system. They
-are also not part of GCC. The reason we have to do this is because
-GCC requires ANSI C headers and many vendors supply ANSI-incompatible
-headers.
-
-Because this is an automated process, sometimes headers get "fixed"
-that do not, strictly speaking, need a fix. As long as nothing is broken
-by the process, it is just an unfortunate collateral inconvenience.
-We would like to rectify it, if it is not "too inconvenient".
