Thank you, Honza!

"...where the base directory ... is in case" (or "...resides in case")

Maybe "instrumented" instead of "instrumentation"?

And what is a "built source tree"?  Can we say "build tree"?

"attribute" (singular) I believe?

"to to" -> "to"

"with the GNU as <code>symver</code> directive" (though "GNU as" over 
"GAS" is my preference, feel free to ignore).

"the latter"


Okay with those changes - thanks!
