Can you split out aliases-and-scripts into a separate pull request, please.

FWIW the aliases and scripts material seems less universal to me, more your personal setup. My feeling is that it makes more sense as an appendix compared to the other material.

Does it really "enable every option by default" ? IIRC it picks defaults for every option, which is somewhat different.

FWIW I also like to set a --prefix for where the built gcc should be installed to, setting it to a sibling directory of the build directory, so that it can be installed without needing sudo.

Rather than invoke cc1plus directly, I tend to use "./xgcc" and "./xg++"

Hello,
I've added documentation on Building GCC from source, as well as a page for useful aliases and scripts that would be used frequently during development. Let me know if anything should be changed or added!
Thank you,
Matthew Beliveau
