If it's such a pain, use a combined tree, which is already packaged in:

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/uberbaum login
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/uberbaum checkout .

Pretty cool, and you get binutils, sim, gcc, etc.  Everything in one
and you can do a toplevel configure, make, whatever.
