Hi Jaishri,
Please use the gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org forum. That's the correct forum for
this kind of inquiry.

Step 1: In your ~/gcc-build directory, run the ~/gcc-source/configure
Step 2: In your ~/gcc-build directory, run make
Step 3: Surf internet while lengthy build happens
Step 4: Make your changes in the ~/gcc-source
Step 5: In your ~/gcc-build directory, run make
Step 6: Surf internet while lengthy build happens
Step 7: Test changes
If not done, goto Step 4.
I'm not sure what measures can be taken - if any - to reduce the duration of
Step 6.
HTH,
