growing, and as such, it's better to which are needed for each project.
In this commit the "Dependencies" section is removed, and the
dependencies are stated within each gem5 resource's blurb.

-## RISC-V GNU Compiler Toolchain
-
-The RISC-V GNU Compiler Toolchain is needed to cross-compile to the RISCV-V
-ISA infrastructure.
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-```
-sudo apt-get install autoconf automake autotools-dev curl python3 libmpc-dev \
-libmpfr-dev libgmp-dev gawk build-essential bison flex texinfo gperf libtool \
-patchutils bc zlib1g-dev libexpat-dev
-```
-
-### Installation
-
-```
-git clone --recursive https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain
-cd riscv-gnu-toolchain
-./configure --prefix=/opt/riscv --enable-multilib
-sudo make linux
-```
-
-**Ensure `/opt/riscv/bin` is added to the PATH environment variable**.

-## GNU ARM-32 bit Toolchain
-
-The GNU ARM-32 bit toolchain is required to cross compile to the ARM-32 bit
-ISA.
-
-### Installation
-
-The toolchain may be installed via the apt-get package manager:
-
-```
-sudo apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf
-```
-
-## GNU ARM-64 bit Toolchain
-
-The GNU ARM-64 bit toolchain is required to cross compile to the ARM-64 bit
-ISA.
-
-### Installation
-
-The toolchain may be installved via the apt-get package manager:
-
-```
-sudo apt-get install g++-aarch64-linux-gnu
-```
