For GCC, the most important piece of documentation to start with probably
is <http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html> and the pages linked from there.

As far as I know the procedures for binutils and GDB are relatively
similar to GCC.

Before we can accept your code for inclusion in GCC (and the other GNU
packages), we need a copyright assignment. The default one is the form
I include below, but there are also other options available.

Should you have further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
