The GCC bootstrap procedure is explained in the GCC docs. If you want to know how was the first version of DJGPP produced, read http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/history.html. > How is PKZIP unzipped? Programs that compress files are usually distributed as executable binaries that unpack themselves. PKZIP comes as pkzNNN.exe (where NNN is a version number). gzip is distributed as a shar file, in essense a huge shell script, which, when run, unpacks itself and builds the program.
