Here is a patch to address a number of issues with the text in Chapter 5.
These are:
1. Chapter 6 ncurses instructions mention its testsuite, but Chapter 5
instructions say it has none.
2. The "bootstrap" make targe for GCC is no longer used at all (since
that's now the default) so the text about the "bootstrap" target not being
used in Pass 2 is not valid.
3. GCC's specs patch has been replaced with a for loop/sed commands in the
Pass 2 instructions, but the "Technical Notes" page still mentions the
specs patch.
4. I don't like the wording in Coreutils instructions referring to
installing "su" ("because it cannot install it" doesn't sound right)
though I guess this is debatable.
5. Glibc instructions say not to bother with the testsuite since no c++
compiler has been installed yet. DejaGNU's testsuite also uses c++, so I
believe its instructions should say the same thing.
