ahh, didn't see that :-/ Now fixed, is this clearer now?

The options @option{--with-target-bdw-gc-include} and
@option{--with-target-bdw-gc-lib} must always specified together for
each multilib variant and take precedence over
@option{--with-target-bdw-gc}.  If none of these options are
specified, the values are taken from the @command{pkg-config}
@samp{bdw-gc} module.
