+Build requirements
+==================
+
+The gold source code uses templates heavily.  Building it requires a
+recent version of g++.  g++ 4.0.3 is known to work.  g++ 3.2 and g++
+3.4.3 are known to fail.
+
+The linker script parser uses features which are only in newer
+versions of bison.  bison 2.3 is known to work.  bison 1.26 is known
+to fail.  If you are building gold from an official binutils release,
+the bison output should already be included.
