What files should I be looking for? I see a gcc-4.8.2.tar.bz2 dated
2013-12-21, but it appears to be the download from the upstream
gcc project. The gcc-4.8.2-preview directory has 16 xz-compressed 
tarballs in it. I downloaded and investigated the one with the
-src.tar.xz suffix, but I saw nothing that was obviously package specs.
