.. code-block:: bash
git checkout vendor-gcc # Move to the branch containing binutils
git rm -rf gcc ; rm -rf gcc # Delete the existing version of binutils
wget http://.../gcc-13.2.0.tar.xz # Download the latest version
tar xf gcc-13.2.0.tar.xz # Extract the new binutils version
mv gcc-13.2.0 gcc # Move the extracted files to the right place
pushd gcc
./contrib/download_prerequisites # Download the required gmp, isl, mpfr and mpc dependencies
rm gmp gmp-6.2.1.tar.bz2 # Remove gmp download and symbolic link
mv gmp-6.2.1 gmp # Move the downloaded gmp dependency in place
rm isl isl-0.24.tar.bz2
mv isl-0.24 isl
rm mpc mpc-1.2.1.tar.gz
mv mpc-1.2.1 mpc
rm mpfr mpfr-4.1.0.tar.bz2
mv mpfr-4.1.0 mpfr
