The GNU C Library - Tools for Installation

We recommend installing the following GNU tools before attempting to build the GNU C library:

make 3.75 You need the latest version of GNU make. Modifying the GNU C Library to work with other make programs would be so hard that we recommend you port GNU make instead. Really. We recommend version GNU make version 3.75. Versions 3.76 and 3.76.1 are known to have bugs which only show up in big projects like GNU libc.
GCC 2.7.2 On most platforms, the GNU C library can only be compiled with the GNU C compiler. We recommend GCC version 2.7.2 or later; earlier versions may have problems.
binutils 2.8.1 Using the GNU binutils (assembler, linker, and related tools) is preferable when possible, and they are required to build an ELF shared C library. We recommend binutils version 2.8 or later; earlier versions are known to have problems or to not support all architectures.
texinfo 3.11 To correctly translate and install the Texinfo documentation you need this version of the texinfo package. Former versions did not understand all the tags used in the document and also the installation mechanisms for the info files was not present or worked differently. On some Debian Linux based systems the used install-info program works differently. Here you have to run make like this:
```
make INSTALL_INFO=/path/to/GNU/install-info install
```
