Yep, I've never updated the docs within the buildtools folder. The ReadMe in
the haiku module is up to date though, and letting the configure script build
the cross tools is easier anyway.
Regarding gcc4, it should work for both x86 and PPC builds. In case of x86
the resulting Haiku installation will just not be binary compatible with BeOS
R5.
