May I second this?  How about the following patch?

(If accepted, I'd strongly recommend to put it in 1.1 as well, that's why
I'm also directly sending it to you, Jeff. Or is it too late, already?)

- If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
- If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
- see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
- package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.
  
! It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
! tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
! run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:
  
- 	./configure 
- 	make
- 
- To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
- then do:
- 	make install
- 
- (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
- the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
- use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
- it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
- and OS.)
- 
- If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
- explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
- also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):
- 
- 	CC=gcc ./configure
- 	make
- 
- A similar example using csh:
- 
- 	setenv CC gcc
- 	./configure
- 	make
