gcc compile?

[Xu, Qiang (XSSC SGP)]

i found this link:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/view/3.3/chapter06/gcc.html 
the article says: 

Dependencies
GCC-2.95.3 needs the following to be installed:


bash: sh
binutils: ar, as, ld, nm, ranlib
diffutils: cmp
fileutils: chmod, cp, ln, ls, mkdir, mv, rm, touch
find: find
gcc: cc, cc1, collect2, cpp0, gcc
grep: egrep, grep
make: make
patch: patch
sed: sed
sh-utils: basename, dirname, echo, expr, hostname, sleep, true, uname
tar: tar
texinfo: install-info, makeinfo
textutils: cat, tail, tr


so it seems to compile gcc2.95.3, the installation of previous version is
necessary, right?

i got a little confused.
