GCC hardcodes some paths while compiling and so we need to pass /static as theprefix during ./configure.  We pass the real install prefix during themake install command later.</para><para><userinput>--enable-languages=c:</userinput> This builds the Ccompiler. The C++ compiler will be built in chapter 6, when we rebuildGCC. Other compilers are available as well. If they are needed,the --enable-languages parameter may be omitted.</para><para><userinput>--enable-threads=posix:</userinput> This enables C++ exception handling for multithreaded code.</para><para><userinput>ln -s gcc $LFS/static/bin/cc:</userinput> Thiscreates the $LFS/static/bin/gcc symlink which some packages need.</para></sect2>
