 For example, during the process of building of the i686-gcc-4.7.2 will
   be created the following directories:

   <buildroot>/i686-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev1/libs

   <buildroot>/i686-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev1/prefix
-

 For x86_64:
+```
   <buildroot>/x86_64-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev1/build
   <buildroot>/x86_64-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev1/libs

   <buildroot>/x86_64-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev1/prefix

+```
 And the sources directory:
+```
   <buildroot>/mingw-sources
-
+```
 
 The archives with the built MinGW will be created in '<buildroot>/archives/'
