    <para os="aa">We will make a couple of essential adjustments to the specs file
    to point to use our build environment:</para>

<screen os="ab"><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../&gcc-specs-patch;</userinput></screen>

    we apply the following patch:</para>

    cross-compling:</para>

<screen os="af"><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../&gcc-cross_search-patch;</userinput></screen>
