+========== CURRENT STATUS ==========
+
+gcc 6.1 supports '__seg_gs' out of the box.  You should use this version
+of gcc (or more recent).
+
+If you want, you can follow the instructions below to download and
+compile the standard gcc.  Of course, it is likely that gcc 6.1 will
+soon be available from your Linux distribution directly.
+
+Note that with gcc 6.1, you no longer need gcc-5.1.0-patch.diff, and you
+should not need the "-fno-*" options either.
+
+
+
+========== OLDER INSTRUCTIONS ==========
+
+
 Get gcc release 5.1.0 from the download page:
     
     https://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html
