HELP - Fundamental Question

[Gentry Jeff]

Hello all,

I am working on a project using GNU tools.
I have run across documents that refer to
gcc-x.x.x.tar.gz and gcc-core-x.x.x.tar.gz
files. What is the difference between the
two? Do they serve different purposes?
I haven't found a document that answers
this question yet.

Thanks much,
