+Debian gcc-snapshot package
+===========================
+
+This package contains  a recent development SNAPSHOT of all files
+contained in the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).
+
+DO NOT USE THIS SNAPSHOT FOR BUILDING DEBIAN PACKAGES!
+
+This package will NEVER hit the testing distribution. It's used for
+tracking gcc bugs submitted to the Debian BTS in recent development
+versions of gcc.
+
+To use this snapshot, you should set the following environment variables:
+
+	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/lib${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
+	PATH=/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/bin${PATH:+:$PATH}
+
+You might also like to use a shell script to wrap up this 
+funcationality, e.g. 
+ 
+place in /usr/local/bin/gcc-snapshot and chmod +x it 
+ 
+----------- snip ----------
+#!/bin/sh
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/lib${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
+PATH=/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/bin${PATH:+:$PATH}
+rpath=""
+OLD_IFS="$IFS"
+IFS=:
+for i in $LD_RUN_PATH
+do
+  rpath="$rpath -Wl,-rpath -Wl,$i"
+done
+IFS="$OLD_IFS"
+exec gcc -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/lib \
+         -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/lib32 \
+         -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/libx32 $rpath "$@"
+----------- snip ----------
+
+Make the same for g++, g77, cpp, ...
+ 
+Don't forget the quotes around the $@ or gcc will not parse it's 
+command line correctly! 
+
+Unset these variables before building Debian packages destined for an
+upload to ftp-master.debian.org.
