Did you read the start of that chapter, where it says

   Note most of this information is out of date and superseded by the new
   GCC install manual `gcc/doc/install.texi'. It is provided for
   historical reference only.

?  You should be looking at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/ - but we still
need volunteers to move the remaining parts of the old install manual into
the new one, in particular cross-compilation instructions (though I
thought Bo Thorsen had volunteered for this) and making the list of
specific systems include every supported target, even those with no
specific notes.
