 notes on many of the configurations.  You should check the notes in that
 section before proceeding any further with the installation of GNU CC.
 
-@item
-When running @code{configure}, you may also need to specify certain
-additional options that describe variant hardware and software
-configurations.  These are @option{--with-gnu-as}, @option{--with-gnu-ld},
-@option{--with-stabs} and @option{--nfp}.
-
-@table @samp
-@item --with-gnu-as
-If you will use GNU CC with the GNU assembler (GAS), you should declare
-this by using the @option{--with-gnu-as} option when you run
-@file{configure}.
-
-Using this option does not install GAS.  It only modifies the output of
-GNU CC to work with GAS.  Building and installing GAS is up to you.
-
-Conversely, if you @emph{do not} wish to use GAS and do not specify
-@option{--with-gnu-as} when building GNU CC, it is up to you to make sure
-that GAS is not installed.  GNU CC searches for a program named
-@code{as} in various directories; if the program it finds is GAS, then
-it runs GAS.  If you are not sure where GNU CC finds the assembler it is
-using, try specifying @option{-v} when you run it.
-
-The systems where it makes a difference whether you use GAS are@*
-@samp{hppa1.0-@var{any}-@var{any}}, @samp{hppa1.1-@var{any}-@var{any}},
-@samp{i386-@var{any}-sysv}, @samp{i386-@var{any}-isc},@*
-@samp{i860-@var{any}-bsd}, @samp{m68k-bull-sysv},@*
-@samp{m68k-hp-hpux}, @samp{m68k-sony-bsd},@*
-@samp{m68k-altos-sysv}, @samp{m68000-hp-hpux},@*
-@samp{m68000-att-sysv}, @samp{@var{any}-lynx-lynxos},
-and @samp{mips-@var{any}}).
-On any other system, @option{--with-gnu-as} has no effect.
-
-On the systems listed above (except for the HP-PA, for ISC on the
-386, and for @samp{mips-sgi-irix5.*}), if you use GAS, you should also
-use the GNU linker (and specify @option{--with-gnu-ld}).
-
-@item --with-gnu-ld
-Specify the option @option{--with-gnu-ld} if you plan to use the GNU
-linker with GNU CC.
-
-This option does not cause the GNU linker to be installed; it just
-modifies the behavior of GNU CC to work with the GNU linker.
-@c Specifically, it inhibits the installation of @code{collect2}, a program
-@c which otherwise serves as a front end for the system's linker on most
-@c configurations.
-
-@item --with-stabs
-On MIPS based systems and on Alphas, you must specify whether you want
-GNU CC to create the normal ECOFF debugging format, or to use BSD-style
-stabs passed through the ECOFF symbol table.  The normal ECOFF debug
-format cannot fully handle languages other than C.  BSD stabs format can
-handle other languages, but it only works with the GNU debugger GDB.
-
-Normally, GNU CC uses the ECOFF debugging format by default; if you
-prefer BSD stabs, specify @option{--with-stabs} when you configure GNU
-CC.
-
-No matter which default you choose when you configure GNU CC, the user
-can use the @option{-gcoff} and @option{-gstabs+} options to specify explicitly
-the debug format for a particular compilation.
-
-@option{--with-stabs} is meaningful on the ISC system on the 386, also, if
-@option{--with-gas} is used.  It selects use of stabs debugging
-information embedded in COFF output.  This kind of debugging information
-supports C++ well; ordinary COFF debugging information does not.
-
-@option{--with-stabs} is also meaningful on 386 systems running SVR4.  It
-selects use of stabs debugging information embedded in ELF output.  The
-C++ compiler currently (2.6.0) does not support the DWARF debugging
-information normally used on 386 SVR4 platforms; stabs provide a
-workable alternative.  This requires gas and gdb, as the normal SVR4
-tools can not generate or interpret stabs.
