+<h3 class="section">6.2 Top Level Source Directory</h3>
+
+<p>The top level source directory in a GCC distribution contains several
+files and directories that are shared with other software
+distributions such as that of GNU Binutils. It also contains several
+subdirectories that contain parts of GCC and its runtime libraries:
+</p>
+<dl compact="compact">
+<dt><samp>c++tools</samp></dt>
+<dd><p>Contains the sources for the g++-mapper-server, a tool used with
+C++ modules.
+</p>
+</dd>

+<dd><p>Autoconf macros and Makefile fragments used throughout the tree.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><samp>contrib</samp></dt>
+<dd><p>Contributed scripts that may be found useful in conjunction with GCC.
+One of these, <samp>contrib/texi2pod.pl</samp>, is used to generate man
+pages from Texinfo manuals as part of the GCC build process.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><samp>fixincludes</samp></dt>
+<dd><p>The support for fixing system headers to work with GCC. See
+<samp>fixincludes/README</samp> for more information. The headers fixed by
+this mechanism are installed in <samp><var>libsubdir</var>/include-fixed</samp>.
+Along with those headers, <samp>README-fixinc</samp> is also installed, as
+<samp><var>libsubdir</var>/include-fixed/README</samp>.

+<dt><samp>gcc</samp></dt>
+<dd><p>The main sources of GCC itself (except for runtime libraries),
+including optimizers, support for different target architectures,
+language front ends, and testsuites. See <a href="gcc-Directory.html#gcc-Directory">The
