I expect Nathanael can advise on this - and also on anything special 
needed in that directory to ensure that such things as multilibs and 
Canadian crosses work properly.  (Current documentation in this area is 
rather lacking, though there's the old etc/configure.texi included in 
binutils that documents the *old* toplevel system.)
