OK, let us assume that you made and installed gcc (and lib++, 
and gdb, etc.) and everything looks fine, and you have tested
it, and your applications still work.  Now you turn around
and notice your system manager glaring at you. :-)

Can you now remove the directory trees created from the tar
files and the make?  Are there any include files or links
that point back to that directory tree?  What documentation
(if any) should be saved out of this stack?

Why doesn't the README file for these products include a note
talking about post-install cleanup?

Thanks for your comments.
