+<title>Installation of GCC on the normal system if necessary</title>
+
+<para>
+In order to compile Glibc-2.1.3 later on you need to have gcc-2.95.2
+installed. Although any GCC version above 2.8 would do, 2.95.2 is the
+highly
+recommended version to use. egcs-2.91.x is also known to work. If you
+don't have gcc-2.95.x or egcs-2.91.x you need to install gcc-2.95.2 on
+your normal sytem before you can compile Glibc later in this chapter.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To find out which compiler version your systems has, run the
+following command:
+</para>
+
+<blockquote><literallayout>
+
+ <userinput>gcc --version</userinput>
+
+</literallayout></blockquote>
+
+<para>
+If you normal Linux system does not have gcc-2.95.x or egcs-2.91.x
+installed you need to install it now. We won't replace the current
+compiler on your system, but instead we will install gcc in a separate
+directory (/usr/local/gcc2952). This way no binaries or header files will be
+replaced.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+After you unpacked the gcc-2.95.2 archive don't enter the newly created
+gcc-2.95.2 directory but stay in the $LFS/usr/src directory. Install GCC by
+running the following commands:
+</para>
+
+<blockquote><literallayout>
+
+ <userinput>mkdir $LFS/usr/src/gcc-build &amp;&amp;</userinput>
+ <userinput>cd $LFS/usr/src/gcc-build &amp;&amp;</userinput>
