I can't see how this should work even in egcs-1.0.3a; this is in a
fresh configured egcs-1.0.3a-sparc-sun-solaris2.6 directory:

$ ../egcs-1.0.3a/configure --verbose
...
$ gmake -n diff
gmake: *** No rule to make target `diff'.  Stop.
$ gmake -n -C gcc diff
gmake: Entering directory `/phys/b60/data62/manfred-work/GNU/egcs-1.0.3a-sparc-sun-solaris2.6/gcc'
diff -rc2P -x c-parse.y -x c-parse.c -x c-parse.h -x c-gperf.h \
  -x cexp.c -x bi-parser.c -x objc-parse.y -x objc-parse.c \
  -x bi-parser.h -x TAGS \
  -x "gcc.??" -x "gcc.??s" -x gcc.aux -x "gcc.info*" \
  -x "cpp.??" -x "cpp.??s" -x cpp.aux -x "cpp.info*" \

$ 

BUT, both directories "gcc-" and "gcc-egcs-2.90.29" don't exist,
neither in `pwd` nor in ${srcdir}! Current CVS sources do not behave
any different:

$ pwd
/u/b60/manfred/work/GNU/egcs-19980630-sparc-sun-solaris2.6
$ gmake -n diff
gmake: *** No rule to make target `diff'.  Stop.
$ gmake -n -C gcc diff
gmake: Entering directory `/phys/b60/data62/manfred-work/GNU/egcs-19980630-sparc-sun-solaris2.6/gcc'
