I installed 3.12 yesterday, but find the instructions for building 3.13p difficult to follow.

From README.BUILD:-

This installation starts from the sources of GCC 2.8.1

  -- Apply patches (gcc-281.dif) from the src directory.

Do I really need to get hold of the source for gcc 2.8.1, just to be able to build 3.13p ?

If so, do I just run:-  ?

patch -p0 <gcc-281.dif
