Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to look at this again. Attached
is a patch to add a Gentoo section with the install commands from
Robin and a pointer to the patched gcc.mk if required; and the patched
file itself. I imagine we could put this somewhere in the project's
download directory so people can find it.

My main reason for not proposing this as a change to mingw-cross-env
is that there's no way (I can find) to make it an upstream change. I
think we should leave it as a pointer in the docs for the time being.
