+ "This package is part of the GNU Compiler Collection and provides an
+embeddable library for generating machine code on-the-fly at runtime. This
+shared library can then be dynamically-linked into bytecode interpreters and
+other such programs that want to generate machine code on-the-fly at run-time.
+It can also be used for ahead-of-time code generation for building standalone
+compilers. The just-in-time (jit) part of the name is now something of a
+misnomer.")))
