I do, basically,
cvs -z 9 co gcc
cd gcc
mkdir objdir
cd objdir
../configure --enable-languages='c,c++,java,objc,f77'
make -j 4 bootstrap >& build.log
Only I usually use a slightly hacked (to also update new directories)
contrib/gcc_update to keep the gcc directory updated.
I've understood that this is how to build the compiler to test it.
And that has always worked (modulo parallel build bugs).
