Thanks.  Found it now.  In the 2.8.8 docs it was section 12.2.
(chuckle) wish I'd found that before I 
embarked on the build process.  All the dependency builds 
and updates took nearly four hours.  I 
actually got to the point where ./profile was satisfied, but 
"make all" fails (don't worry, I will just use the 
pre-built installation, which is what I'd rather
 have done in the first place).

Thanks,
