<title>Installation of GCC</title>

<para>This package is known to behave badly when you have changed it's default
optimization flags (including the -march and -mcpu options). GCC is best
left alone, so we recommend you unsetting CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and other
such variables/settings that would change the default optimization that
it comes with.</para>
