Installation instructions unclear regarding BINUTILS

[Paul Repacholi <prep at prep dot synonet dot com>]

The install files are unclear as to how to untar or symlink
binutils.

gcc 3.2.1
binutils 2.13.2

First, the main gcc-<version> directory contains a directory gcc
that contains the sources to gcc. So is this a reference to 
gcc-<version>  or gcc-<version>/gcc?

Also, the first part of the instructions are either unclear, or
wrong. If after untaring you have ...foo/gcc-<version> and
...foo/binutil-<version>, running configure in the gcc tree does not
use the unpacked binutils as the install files imply.  Are you meant
to untar binutils into the gcc-<version> directory?
