I think you're looking too far.  Release 1 of GCCSDK 4.1.1 core kit
contains all the necessary starter's documentation accessible via
!GCC.!Help.  Please have a look:
<URL:http://www.riscos.info/downloads/gccsdk/gcc-4.1.1-release-1b/>

Not only documentation on GCC and binutils but also all the various
RISC OS specific tools are supplied (including ChangeLog files for
those wanting to know what has been fixed) and migration notes for
updating GCCSDK 3.x projects.

I think it would be wrong to point GCCSDK users into our source tree
and I don't think we're doing that.  Wiki can help elaborate on the
usage of GCCSDK.  All IMHO of course.

John.
