not quite right. It is completely sufficient to have something equal or 
above cctools-528 for building gcc-4.0:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-08/msg00104.html

cctools-576 are only needed to build HEAD:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-03/msg01149.html :

"It's not necessary to upgrade cctools to use 4.0, since the features 
that need the cctools fixes aren't there."


And btw.: cctools-576 have a bug which causes regressions if you want 
to use the FSF Objective-C runtime:
