 Reporting Bugs
 **************
 
    Your bug reports play an essential role in making GCC reliable.
 
    When you encounter a problem, the first thing to do is to see if it
 is already known.   Trouble.  If it isn't known, then you should
 report the problem.
 
    Reporting a bug may help you by bringing a solution to your problem,
 or it may not.  (If it does not, look in the service directory; see
  Service.)  In any case, the principal function of a bug report
 is to help the entire community by making the next version of GCC work
 better.  Bug reports are your contribution to the maintenance of GCC.
 
    Since the maintainers are very overloaded, we cannot respond to every
 bug report.  However, if the bug has not been fixed, we are likely to
 send you a patch and ask you to tell us whether it works.
 
    In order for a bug report to serve its purpose, you must include the
 information that makes for fixing the bug.
