Well, the documentation has not been changed since the last discussion
of this particular problem:
| First, we @strong{highly} recommend that GCC be built into a
| separate directory than the sources which does @strong{not} reside
| within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building

| of @var{srcdir} is unsupported.
