I had already happened across the above web page.  It seemed
to lead me to, among other places, the links to the ".deb" files
I mentioned above.  Other than those links, I don't know how
to use the link you gave to "get the associated" dependencies.

This appears to relate to the gcc source.  I am hoping to
find pre-built binaries, rather than build gcc myself.

Thanks for your help, and any additional clarification
would be appreciated.
