            Bug ID: 61439
           Summary: contrib/download_prerequisites script does not verify
                    integrity of packages
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: other
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: jim at garrison dot cc

The InstallingGCC page on the wiki recommends the use of the
contrib/download_prerequisites script for fetching gcc's dependencies. 
However, the script fails to check the integrity of the downloaded files. 
Since it downloads specific versions of packages, perhaps it would be best to
check against the known hash of each tarball.
