+sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake bison flex libncurses5-dev libreadline-dev texinfo pkg-config
 
-for building gcc libgmp, libmpfr and libmpc are required
+For building gcc libgmp, libmpfr and libmpc are required - these are built as static libraries to make packaging simpler.
+If you're building the tools for personal use then the versions packaged by your chosen distro should suffice.
