-	Use of gcc for compilation is recommended.
+	Should build `out-of-the-box'; however, if using the native
+	compiler, "cc" rather than "c99" is recommended.  Compilation
+	with gcc is also reported to work.  Multibyte is supported,
+	for example:
+           CC=cc ./configure --enable-multibyte
 
 	On 6.5.2, zsh malloc routines are reported not to work; also
 	full optimization (cc -O3 -OPT:Olimit=0) causes problems.
