First of all, your attitude is wrong:

http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1195585&cid=27539173 :

"
Wrong. Fail. Abort. Windows is swallowing up another market because Linux
doesn't belong on the average user's netbook, for the same reasons it doesn't
belong on the average user's desktop. It is a usability nightmare, you need to
be a network engineer AND programmer to fix it when it breaks, and perhaps most
importantly the Linux community is hostile and unhelpful toward non-techies.
".

Not only I am able to configure targets correctly, I have also written a FOSS
tool that makes configuration effort much easier. For example, this is what one
needs to do in the framework of my tool to describe 'binutils':

      binutils =>
        do{
          my $major_ver = '2';
          my $minor_ver = '19';
          my $micro_ver = '1';

          $shadow_targets_hash_refs{binutils} =
            {
            major_ver => $major_ver,
            minor_ver => $minor_ver,
            micro_ver => $micro_ver,

            base_urls => \@_gnu_binutils_mirrors,

            depends_on =>
              {
              targets =>
                {
                gcc4 => $shadow_targets_hash_refs{gcc4}
                }
              }
            }
          }, # do
             # binutils

, and this is what my tool generates automatically:

".

And I even read documentation before trying. So, if the provided documentation
does not prescribe me to use some options, but I must use them, the
documentation is wrong.
