+
+For developers using the git tree:
+
+This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify
+portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to
+compile the git repository tree :
+
+- GNU autotools (automake >=1.10, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50)
+  (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!)
+- GNU Libtool >=2.2
+  (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
+- GNU Gold >= 2.22
+  (Before this version we hit a known bug documented at:
+  http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11317)
+
+If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the "bootstrap"
+script in the root of the tree. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the
+tree configuration.
