Well, if we're seeing people being confused by what 'source directory'
refers to in this case, it's probably worth trying to clarify it a
little. Even a single-word change like the following might help:
"The GCC documentation recommends building GCC outside
of it's source directory in a dedicated build directory."
To me, replacing "the" with "it's" makes is much clearer that it refers
to GCC's source directory, not to the higher-level one containing the
tarballs.
