+You need to install gmp, mpfr, mpc and libiconv packages using MacPorts,
+DarwinPorts or fink. GCC-4.5.1 requires them.

+For xml support in gdb you may want to install expat too. And add the 
+--with-expat parameter to GDB target.

+You need to install several packages on debian just run:
+
+apt-get install flex bison libgmp3-dev libmpfr-dev libncurses5-dev \
+libmpc-dev autoconf texinfo build-essential
