This directory contains the version 2.7.2.2 release of the GNU C compiler. It includes all of the support for compiling C++ and Objective C, including a run-time library for Objective C. The reason for the 2.7.2.2 release is to add support for GNU C library version 2 on GNU/Linux systems. The GNU C compiler is free software. See the file COPYING for copying permission. See the file gcc.texi (together with other files that it includes) for installation and porting information. The file INSTALL contains a copy of the installation information, as plain ASCII. Installing this package will create various files in subdirectories of /usr/local/lib, which are passes used by the compiler and a library named libgcc.a. It will also create /usr/local/bin/gcc, which is the user-level command to do a compilation. See the Bugs chapter of the GCC Manual for how to report bugs usefully. An online readable version of the manual is in the files gcc.info*. The files pself.c and pself1.c are not part of GCC. They are programs that print themselves on standard output. They were written by Dario Dariol and Giovanni Cozzi, and are included for your hacking pleasure. Likewise pself2.c (Who is the author of that?) and pself3.c (by Vlad Taeerov and Rashit Fakhreyev).
This README file is copied into the directory for GCC-only header files when fixincludes is run by the makefile for GCC. Many of the files in this directory were made from the standard system header files of this system by the shell script `fixincludes'. They are system-specific, and will not work on any other kind of system. They are also not part of GCC. The reason for making the files here is to fix the places in the header files which use constructs that are incompatible with ANSI C.
