If your system does not already have to compile, you will need to download a
pre-compiled binary distribution of gcc for your system.  You can use this
to compile gcc 2.95.2 from source.

If you have a C compiler on your system already, and you wish to bootstrap
completely from source, you should probably also make sure you have a C++
compiler.  This is because GCC depends on gperf, which is written in C++.
