Notes:
Chapter 5.

1) GMP and MPFR need to be built before GCC pass1 in Ch5. They are
prerequisites of GCC.  I built them into my host system, but they could
probably go into /tools (before GCC as well as after).


I'm now up to the end of a successful build of glibc in Ch6.  Now I'm
off to bed.  Start again tomorrow.  Well done DJ.
